2. Introduction

This Co-Location Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which PM MTF LTD (the “Company”) provides co-location services to market participants. This policy ensures compliance with Article 2 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/573 and guarantees fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory access to co-location infrastructure performance.

3. Third Party Outsourcing Arrangement

In today’s fast-paced algorithmic trading environment, market participants must position their trading infrastructure as close as possible to the exchange’s matching engines to maintain a competitive edge. The Company has partnered with Equinix to provide state-of-the-art co-location services.

The Company has entered into an outsourcing agreement with Equinix, which owns and operates the data center housing the trading venue’s execution infrastructure and proximity access services.

While the physical infrastructure is managed by Equinix, the Company remains responsible for:

• Ensuring fair and equal access to co-location services;
• Establishing clear contractual terms with the third-party provider to maintain regulatory compliance; and
• Continuously monitoring latency and infrastructure

4. Definition of Co-Location Services

Co-location services refer to the physical hosting of client trading infrastructure within a data center operated by Equinix, which is connected to the Company’s matching engine to reduce latency.

5. Fair and Non-Discriminatory Access

All Company’s members are offered equal access to co-location services on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to infrastructure availability.
