Chi-X® - innovators of low cost, high speed alternative execution venues

Chi-X® will soon deliver order-driven alternative execution venues to equity markets around the world, offering low-cost, high-speed alternatives to trading on the traditional stock exchanges.

Chi-X’s innovative and sophisticated proprietary technology– already in operation in Europe and Canada – will offer a low-cost, high-speed trading platform. When combined with several innovative order types, trading often results in tighter bid-ask spreads than the traditional exchanges, which ultimately helps deliver price improvement opportunities to participants and their end clients.

By offering a competitive alternative, Chi-X believes markets will become more attractive to the international investment community.
