Nasdaq U.K. derivatives system seeks 10% market share

October 11, 2012--Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., which is setting up a derivatives trading system in London to compete with Europe's two biggest futures exchanges, will seek more than 10 percent market share in its first year of operation.

“Success is at least 10 percent,” Nasdaq Chief Executive Officer Robert Greifeld said in an interview in London yesterday. “We don’t have an interest in being a 3 percent or 5 percent market player. We want to come in a meaningful way.”

The market for derivatives is growing as European and U.S. regulators push over-the-counter transactions onto exchanges. The second-largest U.S. equity exchange announced plans for the U.K. platform, known as NLX, in June, four months after the European Union blocked Deutsche Boerse AG’s takeover of NYSE Euronext amid concern the merger would stifle competition in derivatives and clearing.
