To accommodate global clearing & custody and facilitate non-member business, we offer access to the world’s major international derivative and stock exchanges.
Using some of the most up-to-date and fastest trading software available, from an array of third-party independent software vendors, we enable proprietary trading groups, brokers, trading bureaus and funds to gain market access from all over the globe. Trading in a selection of cash & derivatives instruments can take place benefiting from a wide selection of key trading tools (order types, market depth, real-time quotes, hit-lift, etcetera).
We also offer a range of high-end trading tools, accessible via leased line or over VPN. Using our Direct Market Access (DMA) services, you can take advantage of BCC‘s excellent infrastructure and exchange connections without facing the administrative burden of obtaining your own memberships and setting up your own infrastructure.
Our DMA offer has global reach through connectivity hubs in Europe (London and Frankfurt), the US (Chicago) and Asia/Pacific (Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore).
Co-location service for Euronext LIFFE
Located at LIFFE’s data centre in London we offer market access (member) hosting services on LIFFE. This enables you to enjoy a vendor-neutral, cost-effective solution to trading on LIFFE, benefiting from the lowest possible latency.
We aim to offer the fastest available access to stock and derivative exchanges around the globe, in parallel with the highest standard of clearing and custodial services. By offering exchange co-location, we can significantly reduce what you spend on these services. Where possible, we will do this for both members and non-members of the exchanges.
Market access proximity service for Eurex and Xetra
From Frankfurt we offer proximity market access services on Eurex and Xetra. Besides the obvious advantage of proximity, you will also benefit from Eurex ”Enhanced Transaction Solution” (ETS) and Enhanced Broadcast Solution (EBS). Eurex ETS/EBS is primarily aimed at clients with transaction-intensive and algorithmic trading strategies. By introducing this member hosting service, we allow clients with NCM status to share the BCC Market Access Eurex ETS/EBS set-up. This eliminates the need for individual NCM’s to make substantial investments in this exchange infrastructure.
