Albeit at a slightly slower rate, the FTSE, CAC and SMI primary all gained 1% or more market share. Unlike in Q1 2017, where shifts to the primary were mainly at the expense of BATS and Turquoise, shifts in market share were more evenly spread between MTFs. Aquis gained some market share, although at a much lower level.
