"Bloomberg's MTF trading platform is a key addition to the portfolio of services we are providing our clients to enable them to meet their regulatory obligations, and will provide for a seamless transition into the MiFID II regulatory environment," says Jean-Paul Zammitt, CEO, BTF and global head of financial products services division, Bloomberg.
