Deregistration Under Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, 62817-62818 [2024-16905]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 148 / Thursday, August 1, 2024 / Notices Order, as proposed, would offer member organizations access to additional execution tools and trading opportunities by permitting them to designate orders submitted to the Exchange to be routed directly to a specified algorithm for execution. In particular, the Exchange believes that amending the Directed Order to include routing to an algorithm would provide greater choice and flexibility for member organizations and their customers. The Exchange further believes that the proposed change would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market by offering member organizations a technology solution that would provide them with the option to send orders that they wish to route to an alternate destination for execution through the Exchange, thereby promoting operational efficiencies through leveraging their existing protocols and specifications for Exchange connectivity. Finally, the Exchange notes that the proposed functionality is not novel as a Directed Order to an algorithm would otherwise function in the same way as the existing Directed Order to an ATS (with certain changes as proposed in this filing to extend increased flexibility to all Directed Orders), and the proposed change would simply facilitate member organizations’ existing ability to direct orders to be executed via an algorithm. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange believes that the proposed change to the rules governing Directed Orders would promote competition because it would enhance an order type on the Exchange that would provide access to additional execution tools and trading opportunities for market participants.
