Date 21/02/2014

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today issued the following statement on the decision by Business Wire, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, to stop selling direct feeds of the information it distributes on behalf of clients to high-speed trading firms:

“Business Wire’s decision to voluntarily step forward and stop selling its clients’ information directly to high-speed traders is a tremendous victory for our effort to eliminate advance trading on market-moving information and a demonstration of Business Wire’s commitment to being a responsible industry leader. My office is committed to ensuring a fair, stable, and transparent market. That means cracking down on the bad actors and encouraging industry leaders to step forward and self-police their industry. High-frequency traders who drain the value out of market-moving information in the milliseconds before it becomes available to other investors erode confidence in our markets and skim from the rest of the investing public, which hurts the entire market. I strongly encourage other participants in this industry to follow the leadership of companies like Business Wire and join us in the effort to level the playing field between high-frequency traders and the rest of the investing public.”
