LIFFE (Holdings) plc
 PROFILE
If you want to know the meaning of LIFFE, it's the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange. Established in 1982 to trade in financial futures, it took over the London Traded Options Market a decade later. The exchange is one of the world's largest financial futures markets (vying with Deutsche Börse's Eurex and the Chicago Board of Trade). LIFFE is moving all of its commodity products to LIFFE Connect, an electronic trading platform developed with technology partner Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. LIFFE has said it will go public or spin off either its exchange operations or its technology unit. Investors Blackstone Ventures and Battery Group are buying a major chunk of LIFFE.
