Regulators are examining the structure of U.S. equity markets, including "co-location," or allowing brokers and trading firms to rent space next to an exchange in order to gain quicker access to the markets.

"The Securities and Exchange Commission should take a hard look at co-location," said SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar at the Reuters Global Exchanges and Trading Summit.

"I am not sure banning co-location will solve anything because it will just move to the next building or the building after that," said Aguilar, one of the five commissioners who makes decisions on federal securities rules.
