Like in Direct Market Access (DMA), in Sponsored Access (SA), the brokerage firms offer the client with the market participant identification to connect to the exchange.
However, the main difference between DMA and SA are :
- In Sponsored Access (SA), the client does not use the infrastructure of broker like it does in case of Direct Market Access(DMA).
- In SA, the client does not use the pre-trade risk management as provided by the broker unlike in DMA where the client uses the pre-trade risk management provided by the broker.
