Bank of America Corp. said it sent incorrect data to a U.S. regulator that made its private stock trading platform look bigger than it actually is.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, one of the organizations that polices U.S. stock trading, yesterday for the first time published data on the size of alternative trading systems. Bank of America’s Instinct X was the biggest dark pool in the report for the week of May 12-18, just ahead of markets run by Credit Suisse Group AG and Barclays Plc.
