AUSTRALIA'S dominant exchange operator ASX Limited plans to launch two new "dark pool" trading services next month as it seeks to capture business from the growing amount of off-exchange trade, even as the securities and investments commission plans to step up regulation of the space.
Dark pools are a fast-growing type of alternative trading system where money managers trade shares anonymously and electronically before reporting them to the exchange.
