just checked and there are quite a few other SI trades, from little I know thought this was an "exceptional" trade but I now wonder as to whether this happens every day and I have just not seen.
"the ambition of this clarification was to ensure that under the SI regime, matched principal trading would be allowed on an “occasional basis.” In ESMA’s view, this precluded investment firms from operating one or more systems designed to match client orders. SIs would also fall foul of the SI regime when non–risk-facing activities became a significant source of revenue for their firms, and if the firms were “marketing” their matched principal trading activities."
