1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Bloomberg, Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Jane Street is one 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: of Wall Street's most profitable trading firms. You've maybe heard 3 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: the name, but unless you're a Wall Street insider, you 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: might not know who they are or what exactly they do. 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: They are the middleman in many ways. 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: Catherine Doherty is a finance reporter for Bloomberg. 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 3: you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 3: in the market. 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: If you've ever bought stock on robin Hood or made 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: an investment with your retirement fund, chances are Jane Street 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: or a firm like it helped process that trade behind 13 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: the scenes. Every day, they facilitate billions of transactions between 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: buyers and sellers across markets. 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: Jane Street is connected to all of the pipes, all 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: of the plumbing of the market. 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: And that means Jane Street makes a lot of money 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: from trades. In twenty twenty four, its revenue was twenty 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: point five billion dollars, almost double what it brought in 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. But that growth has also come 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: with new scrutiny. Earlier this month, India's main financial regulator 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: accused the firm of market manipulation. India's market regulator is 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: barring Jane Street from access to its local securities market. 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: It may actually be the biggest fine if it matializes ever, 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: you know, for such kind of market manipulation. 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: Alleged market manipulation. 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: Jane Street is called the regulator's conclusions fundamentally mistaken and 28 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: has said it will assess its legal options. But Catherine 29 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: says the rest of the industry is watching to see 30 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: whether this investigation sets off a reckoning that could change 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: the way firms like Jane Street operate around the world 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: and just how fast they might grow. I'm Sarah Holder, 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: and this is the big take from Bloomberg News Today. 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: On the show, we take a look at one of 35 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Wall Street's most secretive firms, how Jane Street's trading got 36 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: it in hot water, and what that could mean for 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: regulation in a corner of the industry that not many 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: people pay attention to. Jane Street has a reputation as 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: a firm with highly compensated, high performing talent. 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 2: The people at Jane. 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: Street are often described as mathematical. 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: A lot of them play. 43 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: Poker, They have puzzles in their offices. They're problem solvers 44 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: in the most advanced way. 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: And those puzzle playing problem solvers spend their days helping 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: institutions and other investors make trades. 47 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: Essentially their matching a buyer and a seller. You think 48 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: that when you place an. 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: Order, it's as if you go to the grocery store. 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: And you're buying something. 51 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: Well, in the markets, there needs to be someone that 52 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 3: actually helps make that match happen. 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: Bayne Street is that firm. 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: They're the middleman for all sorts of transactions. If you 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: buy stock in a company through a trading app, or 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: if you ask a broker to invest your money, Jane 57 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: Street might be the firm behind the curtain helping move 58 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: that money around. Or you might be interacting with one 59 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: of its competitors. 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 3: And you don't know if it was Jane Street or 61 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: if it was Citadel Securities or Susquehanna. There's so many 62 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 3: of these market making firms, and frankly, until the Meme 63 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: stock craze, retail traders didn't seem to care, or at 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: least there wasn't as much discussion. 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Jane Street is a private company and not a bank. 66 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: While it has to abide by market rules, it isn't 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: subject to the same degree of regulation that big banks 68 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: such as JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have faced since 69 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight financial crisis. Those other financial 70 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: institutions are under pressure to avoid risk taking, and that 71 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: gives Jane Street an edge. 72 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: They can invest in their technology in the way that 73 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: banks can't because banks have to. 74 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: Be a little bit more conservative with their own money. 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: And the secret sauce is that they're able to code 76 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: in the special language as well. 77 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: And what that means is it. 78 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 3: Is hard for other firms to copy exactly what Jane 79 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: Street is doing, and they're able to take really big 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: bets in the market. They're not in the game to 81 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: necessarily invest in a company because they think that the 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: company's earnings are going to increase over time, or they're 83 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: not looking to invest in even a sector because they 84 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: believe in that sector. Their primary goal is to just 85 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: be greasing the pipes of the market. 86 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: They're not just using elbow grease. They're using powerful technology 87 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: to guide their traits. If they can anticipate how markets 88 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: are moving from one second to the next, they can 89 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: offer the right prices and profit. 90 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: So they've developed algorithms. They're using data and they're digesting 91 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: that data to make inferences. They're guessing where the market's. 92 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: Going to be moving. 93 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 3: So if they, for example, see a share, maybe. 94 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 2: It's a share of Apple, and there's a buyer. 95 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: In the market that is looking to buy at a 96 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: certain price, and there's a seller in the market, their 97 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: algorithm is telling them to match at a certain time 98 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: at a certain price, and it is in milliseconds, So 99 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: this is very very fast. And they're doing this with 100 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: so many shares that the way that they make money 101 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: is they're taking a tiny profit the difference between where 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: the share is sold and where the share is bought, 103 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: and they're pocketing that. And it might be pennies. You 104 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: might think, oh, this company that makes twenty billion dollars 105 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: in a year, how did they do that? It adds 106 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: up over time, and because they're using their algorithms, their technology, 107 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 3: their people, over time, they make billions of dollars. 108 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: So it's a volume game and it's a speed game. Yes, 109 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: a volume and speed game known as high frequency trading. Still, 110 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot about the firm we don't know, and 111 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: that sense of secrecy is deeply embedded in the company's culture, 112 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: its offices, even hung a poster, but the famous World 113 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: War Two slogan loose lips sink ships. 114 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: You don't see a lot of Jane Street executives in 115 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: the public eye. They're not ever really on TV or 116 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: even in really niche financial conferences if you go on LinkedIn. 117 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: At one time. 118 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: Profiles were discouraged, and now if you do see a profile, 119 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: there's often not a title attached to a person's name, 120 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: and that is reflective of how this firm operates in 121 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: terms of its culture and the times that it has 122 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: been brought into the public eye. 123 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: It's probably something they would not want. 124 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: One of those moments came with the collapse of FTX, 125 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: the multi billion dollar crypto company that had been founded 126 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: by a former Jane Street employee, Sam Bankman freed. 127 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: When FTX collapsed, there was a lot of discussion about 128 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: the risk taking that Sam's firm took and some comparisons 129 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: to Jane Street. 130 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: But Jane Street hasn't been the target of any major 131 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: regulatory investigations itself until now. Earlier this month, India's regulator, 132 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: the Securities in Exchange Board or SEBI, started investigating the 133 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: firm for market manipulation. Why did regulators start circling. Do 134 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: we know what made them want to investigate Jane Street 135 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: in India. 136 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: So it all stems back to a lawsuit the firm 137 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: had with former employees that went to the hedge fund 138 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: Millennium and they were suing these former employees for We 139 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: didn't know it at the time, but it ended up 140 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: being identified as an options trading strategy. They identified what 141 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: they didn't want to lose as proprietary information. Through this case, 142 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: the number the profit that they were making in options 143 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: specifically and in India came out. It was such a 144 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: large number that the regulators in India said, hold on 145 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: a second. 146 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: We have to look into this. 147 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: We get into what those regulators found and what it 148 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: could mean for the way firms like Jane Street operate 149 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: around the world. After the break in the past few years, 150 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: Street and other market making firms saw an opportunity to 151 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: expand their presence in Indian markets. Over the past five years, 152 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: India's options market has boomed along with the number of 153 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: retail traders. That growth has also led to more volatility 154 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: and a higher potential for profit, and for Jane Street, 155 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: that paid off. The firm made more than four billion 156 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: dollars in India in just over two years. Meanwhile, regulators 157 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: in India said nine out of ten individual traders who 158 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: bet on futures and options lost a significant amount of 159 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: money doing so, and that's part of what got regulators 160 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: looking at how these firms were operating. Bloomberg's Catherine Doherty 161 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: walked me through what happened. 162 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: You have the options market and you have the equity market. 163 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 3: They're directly correlated. 164 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: The equities market is where you buy or sell stocks. 165 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: The options market is where you buy the option to 166 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: buy or sell stocks at a certain price at a 167 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: future date. The key is betting on which direction the 168 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: stock price might go, something that's influenced by activity in 169 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: the equities market. 170 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: The regulator in India, the Security Is and Exchange Board, 171 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 3: is accusing the firm of manipulating the market, using its 172 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: money to place such large bets on one market that 173 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 3: it moves the other market in a way that the 174 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: firm knows they're going to profit from it. The firm 175 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: has said that this is the term arbitrage. Arbitrage is 176 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: just when you spot a dislocation or you can see 177 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: that the market is inefficient in a way that you 178 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: can profit from that and you can. Essentially, what the 179 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: firm would argue is we were actually making the marketplace better, 180 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 3: we were making it more efficient. So yes, it might 181 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: have moved, but it was moving in some ways closer 182 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: to where it should. 183 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: Basically, the regulator is accusing Jane Street of playing both 184 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: sides of these markets and alleging that the firm was 185 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: putting so much much money on one market that i 186 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: was impacting the other. The regulator ordered the seizure of 187 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: about five hundred and seventy million dollars in profits from 188 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: the firm, which it claims were unlawful gains. It also 189 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: temporarily banmed Jane Street from trading in the Indian securities 190 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: market while it conducts its investigation. I mean, the Indian 191 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: options market is pretty unique. What could this order mean 192 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,239 Speaker 1: for Jane Streets or other similar market making firms operations 193 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: elsewhere around the world. 194 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 3: First and foremost, there's nothing stopping a regulator from looking 195 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 3: into a firm that they regulate. 196 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: That's their job. So anytime a firm. 197 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: Is in the news like Jane Street, there's increased scrutiny. 198 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that other regulators from other countries where Jane 199 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Street operates might be wanting to turn over more stones. 200 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: Yes. 201 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: I talked to someone that said, regulators don't want to 202 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: be asleep at the wheel. So even if it's just precautionary, 203 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 3: it's very likely that a regulator might take a second 204 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 3: look at what they have access to, and if they 205 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 3: don't have access or they have more questions, they might 206 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: ask Jane Street to answer those questions just so they 207 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: have some reassurance that there's nothing that they see as 208 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: potentially nefarious or manipulative. And it goes the same for 209 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: a peer of James. I've talked to other market participants 210 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 3: that would be competitors to Jane, other market makers, and 211 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: one firm said that right after this order came out, 212 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: they were digging through the order and they also had 213 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: an internal meeting amongst themselves to say, hey, are we 214 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: doing anything that might not be exactly the same as 215 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: what Jane Street was doing, but let's look through our 216 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: trading strategies to make sure there's nothing that comes across 217 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,479 Speaker 3: as questionable or that could be brought up by regulators 218 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: as nefarious. And this person was quick to say, like, 219 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: we didn't come to that conclusion, but you have to 220 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 3: be proactive. 221 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: Jane Street has set aside nearly five hundred and seventy 222 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: million dollars in an escrow account to comply with SEBI's 223 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: order while it investigates. A person familiar with the matter 224 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: told Bloomberg that the firm doesn't plan to immediately return 225 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: to India's options market for now. Market watchers will wait 226 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: to see what the regulator's investigation turns up and whether 227 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: Jane Street decides to file an appeal. What could this 228 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: scrutiny of Jane Street mean for the entire high frequency 229 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: trading market making industry. 230 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 3: It's a really important question, and it depends who you 231 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: ask people in the industry. Even when I asked that 232 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: question just about Jane Street's future, I had a quick 233 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: answer from someone that said, they're so. 234 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: Large and they're so. 235 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 3: Good at what they do that this won't impact the 236 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: amount of trading that they're still able to facilitate, and 237 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 3: that they're just going to keep doing what they do 238 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 3: because they have such an important role across global markets. 239 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: This is the Big Take from Bloomberg News.
