The direct electronic access broadens RTS’s reach into the European equities markets and further builds on the growing distribution of the Chi-X system.

With the addition of Chi-X and our smart order routing capability, customers can enjoy best execution in the European equity markets, helping them to satisfy their MiFID obligations, commented Steffen Gemuenden, co-CEO of RTS Realtime Systems.

By accessing Chi-X from RTS screens, customers can enjoy reduced market impact by spreading their orders across several liquidity pools, and they can identify new arbitrage opportunities by trading the same instruments between different venues.
