As of today all retail clients of Interactive Brokers, Lynx and Today’s Groep will have free access to real-time derivatives market data of TOM MTF. ABN AMRO Bank and BinckBank currently do not charge separate costs for this market data access.
Since the start of TOM, the exchange fees for options fell by almost 70% and TOM obtained a market share of 40 - 50% in Dutch equity and index options.
Willem Meijer, CEO of TOM: “Besides the lower exchange fees, it has become even more attractive for clients of Interactive Brokers, Lynx and Today’s Groep to trade options on TOM MTF. A client can save up to 37 euro per month when switching to TOM MTF market data. This step will contribute to the ambition of TOM to grow its market share to over 50% in Dutch options by the end of this year.”
