BATS Global Markets, an innovative global financial markets technology company, reports that BATS Exchange earned 9.48% US matched market share in October on its single trading platform, while BATS Europe earned new market share records in the FTSE 100 of 8.05% and the European market overall with 3.71% for the month.

BATS Europe, which launched one year ago on October 31^st, 2008, also hit new one day record highs in the FTSE 100 (9.70%) and FTSE MIB (5.0%). The fast-growing MTF also recorded a new average daily notional value record for the month of about €1.27 billion.

“We continue to enhance our functionality and services with great results for customers at both of our major markets,” said Joe Ratterman, CEO of BATS Exchange and BATS Global Markets. “And while some of our US competitors have continued to increase their rates for routing and removing liquidity rates, BATS has maintained better take and route fees than our major competitors.

“This week, in particular, we are celebrating the one-year anniversary of BATS Europe and the incredible progress our London team has made in such a short time. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception in this market and we thank our investors and customers globally for their continued support,” he said.
