List Provides Access To CME Group’s Globex Electronic Trading Platform
List Group, a provider of global trading solutions, announced it has integrated its multi-asset platform FastTrade with CME Globex, the electronic trading platform at CME Group. The connection enables List's buy- and sell-side clients to access benchmark products across all major asset classes, including futures and options based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, and alternative investment products.
These products are centrally cleared via CME Clearing, substantially mitigating counterparty risk, according to a release. Stefano Falciani, managing director List UK said: "Giving our clients direct access to CME Group's derivatives exchange adds greater product diversity for their multi-asset trading strategies on a global scale." FastTrade currently connects to more than 30 electronic markets for equities, bonds, futures, options and repos. Its single interface integrates with external electronic markets, brokers, information sources and internal markets.
Its functionality includes market making support, algorithmic trading and risk management. In addition, FastTrade provides all the components needed for the creation of external and internal electronic markets. List Group designs and develops software solutions for electronic markets (exchanges, regulated markets, MTFs, ECNs) and real-time settlement systems, as well as professional trading systems, and offers GRC solutions.
