Financial markets play a critical role for market-based economies: their safety and efficiency ensures and reflects the wealth and prosperity of society.

By using systematic approach the structure, the objects and the regulatory regimes of these three biggest private trade associations, their advantages and disadvantages as well as problems which they face are investigated and compared. Furthermore, in order to provide practitioners and researchers with an up-to-date reflection on a most pressing issue of modern financial markets the legal foundations of the recent research material and all relevant publicly available information provided by these private trade associations are critically evaluated. The most important conclusions and further open questions are outlined at the end.
