Turquoise is an equities trading platform (multilateral trading facility or MTF), created by nine major investment banks in 2008. The aim was to provide dealing services at a 50% discount to traditional exchanges.[1] It is a hybrid system that allows trading both on and off traditional exchanges.[2] The system was advertised as a "pan-European platform based in London".[1]
