We congratulate SmartPool and remain committed to connecting to all the available liquidity pools in Europe so that our clients can continue to benefit from the price improvement available on the new execution venues."
Rob Boardman, Head of Electronic Trading, ITG in Europe:
“As an agency-only brokerage specializing in electronic trading our aim is to offer our users access to as many liquidity venues as possible. Therefore, it is a very natural move for us to become members of SmartPool so that our clients can benefit from additional liquidity.”

“Europe’s market structure continues to evolve and dark liquidity is getting more integrated into the trading environment. Neonet solves the complexity of the increasingly fragmented trading by aggregating the dark and lit liquidity. We offer access to over 35 market places and to dark liquidity on six venues and we are very happy to add SmartPool to our liquidity offering. “We do this to honour our commitment to our clients and the market to offer efficient trading that is simple and quick to use”.
Richard Semark, MD Client Trading & Execution, UBS:
"As part of the UBS liquidity strategy we are delighted to be amongst the first to join NYSE Euronext SmartPool. We see this as a valuable addition to the displayed and non-displayed liquidity pools we access with market leading Algos such as TAP, our liquidity seeking strategy. All UBS client flow will benefit from the addition of SmartPool as a destination within our smart order router."
