Cutting out the middleman

Article Abstract:

Fund managers have been able to bypass exchanges, dealing directly with each other, as a result of a crossing network that they have set up. E-Crossnet is a JV that is owned by investors who buy stocks, and is the first of its kind. There has been informal crossing for some time as a way of cutting costs, but the volume of this type of trade that eliminates brokers is likely to rise. This could eventually affect the exchanges and the way that prices are set.
