Reihe: Zicklin School of Business Financial Markets Series

This book is based on the proceedings of The New NASDAQ Marketplace, a conference hosted by the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College on May 3, 2005. The text contains the edited transcript of the panel discussions and two major presentations, one by Gerald Putnam, President and Co-Chief Operating Officer of the NYSE Group; the other by Robert Greifeld, Chief Executive Officer of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Putnam was CEO of Archipelago at the time of the conference. As with the other books in this popular series, this book is more than an historical record. The manuscript has been heavily edited for clarity and unity of ideas. New material is included from interviews after the conference with many of the speakers. The intention has been to round out the discussions while being careful not to sacrifice the essential nature of the 1 original dialogue. A paper is included by Pagano and Schwartz, and a 2 separate paper by Jeffery Smith on the NASDAQ crosses is also provided. The former paper is the basis of Michael Pagano’s remarks on the first panel, “Reengineering a Marketplace.” All through the editing process, we worked closely with the panelists so that we did not to put words in their mouths. They have all approved the final draft and we thank them here for their assistance. We also gratefully

ROBERT SCHWARTZ: Like many of you, I remember the days when we had NASDAQ and Instinet, and everyone viewed these two entities as standalone competitors. But I always believed that Instinet, even back then, was part of the broader NASDAQ marketplace. Look at it from the perspective of the issuing companies. The issuers care about the market where their stocks are traded. The fact that Instinet benefited customers in trading NASDAQ stocks added value to the broader marketplace. That same sense of contributing to the broader marketplace persists today in new areas. After the order-handling rules were introduced in 1997, Instinet discovered for the first time that it was, in fact, an ECN. Fast forward a little. Now Instinet finds out that it is not an ECN anymore, but instead is part of NASDAQ. Yet the broader NASDAQ marketplace continues to exist with a variety of new alternatives, including Pipeline, Liquidnet, and others. This is the new NASDAQ marketplace that we will focus on in today’s conference. So, let’s keep our vision of the NASDAQ marketplace broad. And who better to lead the charge to the broader marketplace than Wayne Wagner! WAYNE WAGNER: We are going to do this a little differently than the previous two panels. We will open this up to the audience as soon as I get my own two cents in. I was flying over here in the new American Airlines pretzel class. To ward off thoughts of starvation, I was thinking about what is going on in this industry. What are the underlying motives behind this consolidation?

I came up with three hypotheses. First, what we have is a gathering of allies in preparation for the clash of the titans – New York and NASDAQ – to determine who will be the dominant market in the future. Second, on a more clandestine note, what we are seeing is the establishment swatting down the flies who have made their lives so miserable for the past 15 to 25 years. Basically, the major market centers are trying to put out of business the ones who have been sapping lifeblood from the major exchanges. Third, we are witnessing a re-gathering of the strength of a central market. This is in contrast to what has happened in the past 15 years, a time when the buyside dominated the debate about what is needed, and about which way it is going to go, something that I am quite familiar with and highly support.

When you think about the needs of the big institutional traders – I am including hedge funds – there are two things that an exchange must do. First, it must gather and enhance liquidity. Reto Francioni spoke about that. Second, it needs to preserve confidentiality and trust. You cannot have an institutional-sized trading market unless your orders are kept confidential and anonymous. You also must have the ability to create liquidity when the ebb and flow of the buy and sell streams are not producing it. Now I would like to congratulate myself. This is my first speech in about ten years that did not include the word ‘iceberg’ (laughter).

Let me introduce my panel. We have Kim Bang from Bloomberg, Rob Hegarty from TowerGroup, Rich Repetto from Sandler O’Neill, ITG’s Henry Yegerman and White Cap Trading’s Jamie Selway. All of these professionals are extensive users as well as tremendous thinkers on markets and market operations. Let me bounce one question down the line. Who will be the 800-pound gorilla?

KIM BANG: The only 800-pound gorilla in our space is Bloomberg. We sit on top and are fully integrated with that 800-pound gorilla. But in terms of transactional space, we are quite modest. Our focus is very much on servicing the Bloomberg client, the institutional client if you like. Actually, there is a fair amount of speculation now that Bloomberg Tradebook is one of the few independents left holding an ECN medallion. The question is, does that now create a business opportunity for us? My response is, the economics of operating an ECN have diminished significantly.
