MAR 6.12 Execution price of client orders not matching quotation sizes

MAR 6.12.1R

Where a systematic internaliser quotes:

  1. (1)

    in only one quote in a share; or

  2. (2)

    its highest quote is lower than the standard market size for the class of shares to which the share belongs;

and it receives a client order that is bigger than the quotation size, but lower than the standard market size, the order may be executed, but that part of the order which exceeds the quotation size must either be executed at the quoted price or, if it is a professional client order, as permitted under the execution price provisions in MAR 6.11.1 R.
