The Russian Trading System is a stock market established in 1995 in Moscow, consolidating various regional trading floors into one exchange. Originally RTS was modelled on NASDAQ's trading and settlement software; in 1998 the exchange went on line with its own in-house system. Initially created as a non-profit organisation, at the moment RTS is in the process of reorganisation: it is being transformed into a joint-stock company. RTS data is distributed world-wide through major financial information vendors such as Reuters.
