Regulatory requirements

  • Bar to create an exchange maintained at a high level, prioritizing Brazilian Markets' integrity and quality, with advanced requirements of internal controls, risk management, governance, cyber security, and technology.
  • Dispersed capital structure maintained (market participants up to 10% and other entities need previous CVM approval to go above 15%), emphasizing the independence and neutrality that an exchange must have.

Self-regulatory organization (SRO)

Best Execution

  • CVM maintained the model proposed at the public hearing, in line with the European one, in which the duty of best execution falls on the intermediary.
  • Best execution rules differentiate qualified and non-qualified investors: no changes in the case of qualified investors (client and intermediary set the parameters), for non-qualified investors, higher weight for total disbursement.

Internalization

  • Internalization of orders still forbidden, emphasizing the transparency provided by the exchange and its importance for price discovering.
  • Despite requests from intermediaries and consultation from the ministry of finance, CVM understands that the transparency and broad and isonomic access for all investors provided by the central order book are key to preserve high quality price discovery.
