Multilateral Trading Facility

Definition

Multilateral Trading Facility. A trading system that facilitates the exchange of financial instruments between multiple parties

Multilateral trading facilities allow eligible contract participants to gather and transfer a variety of securities, especially instruments that may not have an official market. These facilities are often electronic systems controlled by approved market operators or larger investment banks. Traders will usually submit orders electronically, where a matching software engine is used to pair buyers with sellers.
