Opening up a single point of access to all markets

Turquoise Europe [Note1] is a single point of access for a diverse range of market participants, including retail brokers, that simplifies the complexity of cross-border trading. You can trade a variety of blue chip and growth/SMEEEA financial instruments, including shares, depository receipts, ETFs, ETCs, and European rights issues (excluding UK and Swiss securities) across 17 European countries.

Since Turquoise Europe launched in 2020, we’ve been offering European investors world-class technology through our partnership with LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group). We deliver precision timestamping of trades to a single microsecond, Turquoise trading innovations that enable investors to buy and sell, and the midpoint with relevant randomised uncrossings that ensure high-quality executions with low-price reversion after the trade.

Suitable for investors subject or not subject to European share trading obligation, Turquoise Europe is your go-to destination for all orders, large or small. Transact with confidence thanks to our market models that help you consistently achieve the best results – the very definition of best execution.
