As detailed in the case study above; an independent report into the costs of trading by Market Structure Partners; commissioned by 10 leading Australian clearing participants.
Market Structure Partners provided the financial markets expertise for the European Commission’s study in understanding the full impact of commercial business information services on listed SMEs. This report contributed to the thinking behind the Commission’s plan for the Capital Markets Union.
The aim of this report is to promote a wider understanding of the current state of the European equity market and its evolution which has brought us to the present status quo. It explains why, in the context of this evolution, there is less reason for knee jerk reaction and more time needed for a considered response to certain developments of the market and why perhaps other more fundamental issues should be addressed. The focus is on Europe but, with markets also becoming increasingly global, the development of the US market plays a significant part in illuminating parts of the story.

Future of Financial Markets
We can help you understand the unknown.
Market Structure is always evolving and we believe that technology is the driving force behind future innovation and regulatory change. The participation with technological advances varies across the market, but as these fringe revolutions become mainstream, their impact will be felt by everyone through shifting expectations, increased demand and accompanying regulation.
We have highlighted three key areas that we expect to dominate financial regulation in the coming months and years: Blockchain, cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding.
