KCG Americas Fined $35K.  [NYSE - 2016-03-00052 – 5/2]

 

This matter arises from investigations conducted by the NYSE Regulation Surveillance & Investigations group and FINRA' s Department of Market Regulation into NYSE Designated Market Maker participation in August 2015. NYSE Rule 104(a)(I) requires that a DMM, with respect to securities for which it is registered, must assist the Exchange "by maintaining a continuous two-sided quote with a displayed size of at least one round lot." KCG's DMM unit did not quote on both sides of the market in its assigned symbols while its risk controls were engaged - in violation of Rule 104(a)(1).

Respondent violated Rules 15c3-5(b) and (c)(1)(ii) by failing to establish, document, and maintain controls that were reasonably designed to prevent the entry of excessive quotes into the market.
