Cevap
First Market matches with auction-style execution of listed securities on a national exchange. Second Market matches with negotiated OTC trading of unlisted securities. Third Market matches with off-exchange OTC trading of exchange-listed securities. Fourth Market matches with direct institution-to-institution trading via ECNs without broker-dealers.
Each secondary market venue tier is distinguished by the listing status of the security, the venue platform (exchange vs. OTC vs. ECN), and the presence or absence of broker-dealer intermediaries. The First Market involves listed securities on national exchanges. The Second Market covers unlisted securities traded OTC. The Third Market involves listed securities traded OTC by broker-dealers. The Fourth Market covers direct institution-to-institution trading via ECNs without broker-dealers.
