Spectrum Markets is our pan-European multilateral trading facility (MTF), launched in October 2019.
It offers a new approach to retail trading for those who want 24/5 access to the markets with complete transparency, increased choice and maximum control when trading securitised derivatives.
Spectrum Markets aims to become an indispensable partner in the pursuit of wider access to market opportunities, and is specifically designed and built for both financial institutions and their retail trading communities.
Being an MTF, Spectrum Markets provides access to innovative products designed to give European retail traders flexibility and control over their trades, such as Turbo24 – the world’s first 24-hour turbo warrant.
Before launching Spectrum Markets, there was a sizeable and well-established market for exchange-traded derivative products like this. The business is already successfully taking on the challenge of conquering that market, achieving almost one billion securitised derivatives traded since launch.

Based in Germany, Raydius is the issuer for Turbo24. It creates the securities, which are then listed and traded on Spectrum. Its speciality is issuing turbos hourly, so there’s always a steady supply of new securities with attractive knock-out levels available. That means traders get more access to opportunity.
BrightPool
BrightPool is a multi-asset market-making service provider based in Cyprus. It’s another link in the chain that brings Turbo24 to market, creating greater liquidity in the Spectrum order book.
