This year Archipelago is recognized as the best equities ECN because it has proven itself to be more flexible and responsive to the needs of its users than arch-rival Island.
The two ECNs handle a similar turnover but concentrate on different securities. Island is focused on Nasdaq securities and exchange-traded funds while Archipelago is concentrating its efforts on adding non-Nasdaq listed securities to the Nasdaq stocks it already handles.
Archipelago has had a very busy year, both buying REDIBook ECN and merging with the Pacific Stock Exchange.
