New Gold Standard

Our Gold Standard financial trading infrastructure is built around our core international network specifically optimised to support multi-venue, multi-asset class high frequency (HF) and algo-trading platforms.

We are directly connected to the world’s major financial trading cities with 28 network nodes in the City of London and 21 data centres. These points of presence and our single-hop 10GigE core network ensure we deliver the lowest possible latency to trading venues and matching engines you require connectivity to.

In order to avoid the legacy network build commonplace in the rest of the industry, we select the fastest and newest available fibre routes into each FX market using state-of-the-art technology. As a result it delivers the lowest latencies available because of its single-hop architecture which connects directly to matching engines. 

Latency figures represent the round trip of a trading route. Some providers show figures which are so low that they seem too good to be true, and they usually are. This is because in many cases the figure quoted only represents a signal travelling one way, which of course is of little use.

Our figures always represent the trading route round trip, and because we have optimised our network specifically for the finance industry, we know they cannot be beaten.

Significant network investment allows us to deliver the unbelievable speeds shown in our currency pair matrix:

• 11 Global Trading Cities - Researched to the nth-degree to ensure highly optimised network for trading 8 currency pairs (85% of daily volume)
• 28 City of London PoPs- Offers the shortest (microsecond) on-ramp to the core network
• 21 Data centres within M25 Ensuring we get you closer to matching engines no matter where they reside
• Layer 2 10GigE core network offers sub 1ms across any-to-any London connectivity

We will connect you with the shortest open path for trading currency pairs. The shorter the path - the lower the latency.
