TRADEcho will be operated as an Arranged Publication Arrangement (APA) applying relevant deferrals to provide the market with a clear and concise tape of a firms' trades. TRADEcho's APA provides Investment Firms with a mechanism to publish trades they have executed and thereby meet their MiFIR/MiFID II post-trade transparency obligations. Trades will be published across all asset classes in line with the regulatory reporting timeframes. Together with UnaVista: firms can enjoy seamless trade and transaction reporting in one experience; helping ease the regulatory burden for financial firms. Additionally, TRADEcho data flows seamlessly into the UnaVista platform for MiFIR transaction report enrichment and reconciliation.

Simplitium was established in 2007 in response to the regulatory pressures introduced when MiFID I was implemented, offering MTFs, SIs and investment firms an easy and cost-efficient way to comply with the new transparency obligations. Since inception, its core technology has been supplied by Cinnober (CINN.ST). In 2014 Cinnober acquired Simplitium. The Cinnober team based in Sweden are providing the core platform for TRADEcho services that will be integrated and hosted by the London Stock Exchange.
