Related Topics

Fidessa group, a provider of multi-asset trading, portfolio analysis, compliance, market data and connectivity solutions for the buy-side and sell-side, is to provide access to the Santiago Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago).

The partnership is in preparation for the Santiago Stock Exchange’s trading engine upgrade that is being introduced to accommodate increasing volumes resulting from new DMA and algorithmic flows. 

Fidessa’s interface with the Santiago Stock Exchange will provide member firms access to electronically route orders to the exchange via the Fidessa trading platform or by directly leveraging Fidessa’s FIX connectivity. 

The connection will also provide Fidessa’s clients with direct DMA access to the Santiago Stock Exchange.
 
José Antonio Martínez, chief executive at the Santiago Stock Exchange, says: “This partnership marks an important step in increasing direct market access for global firms looking for reliable connectivity into the region. The Santiago Stock Exchange is an undisputed cornerstone in Latin America’s capital markets and a benchmark for excellence among domestic and foreign investors. A technology partner such as Fidessa offers the quality and reliability we require to service both our local and global constituents.”
 
Alice Botis, head of business development Latin America at Fidessa, adds: “We have worked hard to provide superior technology and customer service to clients in Latin America. By certifying with the Santiago Stock Exchange, we can provide valuable services such as direct market access, improved trade order entry and better algorithmic trading tools to global brokers and buy-sides who wish to trade more efficiently on the exchange."
 
The Fidessa connectivity network links over 2,400 buy-side institutions to more than 530 brokers and 130 markets around the world, providing a one-stop-shop for best execution services.

Fidessa recently signed a deal to provide Celfin Capital in Chile with its hosted trading technology, and has also added over 16 Latin American brokers to its connectivity network.
