Recognizing the necessity for increased speed, better pricing, dynamic liquidity and additional price discovery, EM4X has established a new data center to provide FX market participants with improved local connections to its FX liquidity venues. The new LD4 data center and matching engine will improve the quality of service and execution for existing and future clients.
“Sticking to our mantra of providing the Emerging Market participants with better trading solutions, the FX community will have access to a closer and more reliable pool of liquidity and functionality offered by the EM4X team”, said Jean-Louis Jaumin, Global Head of Sales. “We have seen a trend where local banks and brokers, from Australia to Zimbabwe, have increasingly adopted electronic trading to better optimize their strategies, portfolios or customer orders.”
This initiative is one of many steps which will allow EM4X to better serve its Emerging Market client base. The company plans on expanding its global footprint by adding additional data centers in Sao Paulo, Istanbul and Tokyo by year’s end.
“We welcome this move by EM4X to introduce regional data center connectivity to its platforms,” said Alex Oberhozer of Banca Credinvest, “Reduced latency access to streaming prices will improve price discovery for the market overall.”
