Trading Solutions by SIX already operates its own FIX-based routing network. However, by integrating with etops FIXhub, its customers gain immediate access to a wider range of international execution venues. This means low-latency, direct connectivity without additional infrastructure, thanks to full integration within existing SIX Trading Solutions front-end systems. For market participants, this translates into streamlined workflows and reduced operational risk.
etops FIXhub is a fully hosted and managed FIX-based order routing network that connects Buy and Sell Side participants for real-time exchange of order and execution messages across all asset classes. The network is designed to deliver fast, reliable, and flexible connectivity, enabling firms to interact with counterparties of choice without complexity.
The cooperation between SIX and etops FIXhub supports straight-through processing and minimizes system breaks. Customers can route orders electronically and directly from their trading front-end, ensuring efficiency and reducing risk. In addition, the collaboration opens access to a steadily growing number of international execution venues, asset-class-independent routing, and real-time execution feedback, all critical components for firms operating in dynamic markets.
Both organizations emphasise the strategic value of this collaboration. For Trading Solutions by SIX, it enhances its offering by providing clients with broader connectivity options. For etops FIXhub, the collaboration strengthens its presence in Spain, Southern Europe, and South America, regions where demand for robust trading infrastructure continues to grow.
