MONTREAL June 11 (Reuters) - Getco LLC, a big market maker and high-frequency trader, has hired a key U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission associate in charge of crafting rules for the equity and option markets.

Elizabeth King will join Getco as the SEC steps up scrutiny of the fragmented, mostly electronic marketplace and considers new rules to ensure fair access to public markets.

King was associate director of the SEC's trading and markets division, which is responsible for supervising exchanges, brokers and credit rating agencies.
