The RTS Stock Exchange is one of the largest and most actively operated electronic trading floors in Russia. The RTS was the first to introduce technological trading in Russia and the first to issue recognized market regulation. Born as an electronic OTC trading system yet in mid-1995, the RTS has developed into one of the largest stock exchanges in Russia with its own trading & settlement complex. The RTS is a universal automated screen based system, constituting both dealer-driven and order-driven markets and connecting brokers from all over Russia. The RTS is a composite market for corporate stocks and bonds, combining the traditional OTC market and the Guaranteed Trading System (a system where only the trades that have been fully secured by money and stock deposits in their special accounts are executed). The RTS is a trading floor, which offers its trade participants the widest choice of settlement models. Every RTS member may choose the most adequate among a variety of settlement arrangements, including those based on the “delivery versus payment” system, the principles of prior and post-depositing of assets, the widest opportunities offered by Internet, and modern means of electronic documents interchange. The RTS Index, an official indicator for the Exchange, was launched
in September 1995 and instantly became the basic stock market indicator
for Russia. The Index is capitalisation weighted and is calculated
on the basis of average-weighted prices for the trades executed
in the Trading System. The RTS Index is calculated every 30 minutes
of the trading session. |
