Quote MTF, a next-generation, lit trading venue for pan-European equities, has purchased all the shares of former chairman Peter Beck, Financial Times reports. Beck held a 60 percent shareholding in the Hungarian company through a holding company BRMS Holdings, which owns Canadian day-trading company SwiftTrade.

The move comes after SwiftTrade was fined £8 million by the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority for trading abuses. Earlier this year, the remaining 40 percent of Quote MTF was offloaded to a group of liquidity providers.
