Market at Close allows members to enter orders for matching on Aquis at the same price as the market of listing closing auction, for a fraction of the cost.

Matching Pool

Our non-displayed order books, where members can trade at the midpoint of the Primary Best Bid & Offer (PBBO), trade larger blocks and seek even lower market impact than in the lit order books.
