The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change BILLING CODE 8011–01–P 1 15 retail investors. The text of the proposed rule change is attached as Exhibit 5 [sic]. The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the Exchange’s website (https://markets.cboe.com/us/ options/regulation/rule_filings/edgx/), at the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. 1. Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to introduce order book priority for equity orders submitted on behalf of retail investors. Forty three million U.S. households hold a retirement or brokerage account,3 and these investors are increasingly turning to the equities markets to fund important life goals. It is therefore critical that our markets are sensitive to the needs of the investing public. The Exchange continuously strives to innovate and improve market structure in ways that facilitate ordinary investors achieving their investment goals. The proposed introduction of retail priority is designed with this objective in mind. The Exchange believes that introducing retail priority may provide retail investors with better execution quality and better position the Exchange as the ‘‘home’’ for retail limit orders. This, in turn, will further allow retail liquidity to contribute to overall price formation and attract more market participants to the Exchange, creating a richer and more diverse ecosystem with deeper liquidity. Retail priority would therefore be consistent with the goals of the 3 See The Evolving Market for Retail Investment Services and Forward-Looking Regulation—Adding Clarity and Investor Protection while Ensuring Access and Choice, Chairman Jay Clayton, Commission (May 2, 2018), available at https:// www.sec.gov/news/speech/speech-clayton-2018-0502. PO 00000 Frm 00105 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 13729 Commission to encourage markets that are structured to benefit ordinary investors,4 while facilitating order interaction and price discovery to the benefit of all market participants. Background As defined in EDGX Rule 11.21, a ‘‘Retail Order’’ is an agency or riskless principal order that meets the criteria of FINRA Rule 5320.03 5 that originates from a natural person and is submitted to the Exchange by a Retail Member Organization, provided that no change is made to the terms of the order with respect to price or side of market and the order does not originate from a trading algorithm or any other computerized methodology.6 A ‘‘Retail Member Organization’’ or ‘‘RMO’’ is a Member (or a division thereof) that has been approved by the Exchange under EDGX Rule 11.21 to submit Retail Orders. Pursuant to EDGX Rule 11.21(b), which describes the qualification and application process for becoming a Retail Member Organization, any member may qualify as a Retail Member Organization if it conducts a retail business or routes retail orders on behalf of another broker-dealer. Today, the Exchange operates based on a price/display/time priority execution algorithm that is similar to those employed by most other U.S. equities exchanges.7 As such, the first Displayed 8 order resting on the EDGX Book 9 at a particular price has priority over the next order and so on based on the time of order entry. Non4 See e.g., U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Strategic Plan, Fiscal Years 2018– 2022, available at https://www.sec.gov/files/SEC_ Strategic_Plan_FY18–FY22_FINAL_0.pdf (‘‘Commission Strategic Plan’’). 5 FINRA Rule 5320.03 clarifies that an RMO may enter Retail Orders on a riskless principal basis, provided that (i) the entry of such riskless principal orders meet the requirements of FINRA Rule 5320.03, including that the RMO maintains supervisory systems to reconstruct, in a time-sequenced manner, all Retail Orders that are entered on a riskless principal basis; and (ii) the RMO submits a report, contemporaneously with the execution of the facilitated order, that identifies the trade as riskless principal. 6 Retail Member Organizations will only be able to designate their orders as Retail Orders on either an order-by-order basis using FIX ports or by designating certain of their FIX ports at the Exchange as ‘‘Retail Order Ports.’’ Unless otherwise instructed by the Retail Member Organization, a Retail Order will be identified as Retail when routed to an away Trading Center. See EDGX Rule 11.21(d). 7 See EDGX Rule 11.12. 8 ‘‘Displayed’’ is an instruction the User may attach to an order stating that the order is to be displayed by the System on the EDGX Book. See EDGX Rule 11.6(e)(1). 9 ‘‘EDGX Book’’ means the System’s electronic file of orders. See EDGX Rule 1.5(d) E:\FR\FM\05APN1.SGM 05APN1
