Exchange Platform Review Version: 0.2 Date: 10 Nov 2008 Status: Draft for Discussion
Exchange Platform Review - Summary The following is a review of the services, performance and technology of the BATS, Chi-X and Currenex platforms. The purpose of review is better understand the platforms and possibly generate ideas for the technology renewal in IEB. Platform Summary • BATS • US Cash Equities / EU Cash Equities • ECN launched in 2006, recently launched in EU • The focus of BATS is low latency at a fraction of fees of the US Regional Exchanges • Chi-X • Chi-X is MTF in EU, it is owned by Instinet. Chi-X Canada has recently launched. • Chi-X trades EU Cash Equities • Instinet has other global ECNs, it is not known if these run on the same or different platforms • INET • The INET ECN was bought by Nasdaq OMX in 2005 • Nasdaq OMX has an ECN for US Securities • Nasdaq OMX Europe is for EU Cash Equities • Currenex • FX Spot, Forwards, Swaps, Money Markets Deposits • Currenex is a multi-bank portal supporting Executable Streaming Prices and RFQ to retail clients Limitations of the Review • The review is based on internet-based research, rather than direct contact with the Exchanges. The accuracy of materials is not guaranteed. • The platforms a loose in their definitions, particularly in the area of latencies • Little technical information is in the public domain on these platforms • The US Patent website was searched for patents for each platform, but this should not be regarded as conclusive
