Asia Awards 2022: Best trading network—Broadridge Trading and Connectivity Solutions

OVERVIEW

Broadridge Trading and Connectivity Solutions (BTCS)—formerly Itiviti before it was acquired by Broadridge in May 2021—operates the NYFIX order routing network, connecting more than 2,100 buy-side and sell-side participants. Broadridge is focused on helping its clients optimize their trading and operations through a range of solutions. 

THE SOLUTION

Broadridge’s NYFIX is able to support every asset class. Its clients can add new asset classes and instruments—through the Fix protocol—across equities, FX, fixed income, derivatives and cryptocurrencies, while having access to a growing suite of pre-trade, trade and post-trade tools and services. Clients can also access transaction-cost analysis (TCA) services off the back of the NYFIX network to monitor best execution, with the ability to drop-copy trade data to third parties for reporting. The network has SSL and encryption built in and anonymizes all message data to prevent information leakage. BTCS has been investing in NYFIX architecture and also innovating its user interfaces, workflows, analytics and cloud functionality.

WHAT’S TO COME

By integrating with Broadridge, BTCS now has more opportunities to develop NYFIX as an enterprise solution servicing the buy side and sell side. This includes NYFIX further integration within Broadridge’s product suites. Fix routes will be provided to Broadridge Investment Management Solutions, Broadridge’s LTX bond trading platform, and its wealth management platform. In addition, NYFIX is forming partnerships with crypto exchanges and venues to meet institutional demand.
