A multilateral trading facility is an electronic trading system that which brings together multiple third-party buying and selling interests to purchase and sell financial instruments (including those that may not have an official market). MFTs are often operated by established market participants such as investment banks. Orders will usually be submitted electronically and a software engine employing non-discretionary rules will be used to pair buyers with sellers. MTFs must meet certain other criteria prescribed by MiFID. Examples include as Chi-X and Turquoise.
