The goals of your e-marketplace are the same as those of traditional
exchanges. You want market integrity that ensures fair and just treatment
of all market participants and attracts the liquidity needed for market
success. At the same time, you want to ensure that market participants
meet their obligations and that your markets are effectively monitored
to detect any attempts at manipulation.
NFA can help you achieve those goals. We offer a variety of services
to electronic markets — services that sustain market integrity,
increase user confidence and add to the value of the market itself. NFA
provides an independent form of market monitoring, as we do not operate
a market ourselves.
We offer these services in a menu style, with each market selecting the
services most beneficial to their market and corresponding business plan.
And because NFA is currently a not-for-profit organization, we can offer
cost-effective prices for our services. Through fees that are comprised
of both fixed rates and a variable rate based on volume, we recover only
costs directly associated with the offering of these services. Our
experience shows that these fees will allow NFA to recover our expenses,
while providing the highest quality service. In short, NFA offers
a cost-efficient alternative to establishing your own self-regulatory
infrastructure.
