RTS to offer SMA and DMA across asset classes to major U.S. equity venues
Alex Beausang, Senior Vice President, Sales at RTS in New York: "Our offering goes beyond providing solely low latency access. Besides generic order management capabilities, our core technology imbeds risk management components, smart order routing and our popular proprietary API connectivity."
The U.S. equity access extends RTS' equity offering which includes European venues such as BATS Europe, Chi-X, Nasdaq OMX Europe, Turquoise and NYSE Arca Europe, in addition to the major U.S. and European equity exchanges such as NYSE Euronext, Nasdaq, the London Stock Exchange and Xetra(R).
With the addition of a New Jersey-based data center powered by Equinix, RTS can now provide a local hub for U.S. equity exchanges and liquidity venues in the Tri-State area.
Initially for the new U.S. effort, RTS will soon offer DMA to BATS, NYSE Arca and Nasdaq OMX, with more venues to follow. Traders will have access in a low latency environment to more than 60 international trading venues as local data centers in key financial markets are linked up into a global data center infrastructure.
Alex Beausang, Senior Vice President, Sales at RTS in New York, said: "While we are very pleased to now offer DMA to several key U.S. equity venues, our offering goes beyond providing solely low latency access. Besides generic order management capabilities, our core technology imbeds risk management components, smart order routing and our popular proprietary API connectivity."
