Mexican Broker Embraces RINO Initiative Providing High-Frequency Trading

NEW YORK, NY — August 23, 2011 — FIX Flyer, a leader in solutions for electronic trading, announced today that Actinver Grupo Financiero, one of the leading brokers in Mexico, has implemented both the Flyer Engine and Daytona Monitoring for their FIX messaging infrastructure in order to provide advanced electronic trading services to their clients worldwide.

Actinver uses Flyer’s FIX Engine for routing client orders to the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, the equities exchange in Mexico. Actinver uses Daytona to support and monitor FIX sessions with all of their counterparties. Daytona provides dynamic, real–time alerting, latency metrics, and real–time order chain management. Using FIX Flyer’s tools, Actinver is very responsive to their client’s needs for efficient processing of their orders with high levels of support. Actinver is in a strong position to attract electronic order flow from markets all over the world by embracing global trading standards like FIX.

"We have embraced the vision of electronic trading in order to provide the very best execution for our increasingly sophisticated clients," said Gerardo Roman, Head of Electronic Trading in Mexico City. "We adopted FIX Flyer’s solution two years ago, and because of their superb performance and high–touch service we have been able to aggressively expand our algorithmic and low–latency trading programs for the direct benefit of our institutional clients around the globe."

Actinver chose FIX Flyer for the core FIX components since the solution because of its ease of use, allowing them to bring new electronic services to market quickly. In addition, Actinver needed to ensure that the solution would give all of their client’s comfort that they can handle a dynamic and quickly emerging marketplace in Mexico. Because of Flyer’s unmatched proficiency and expertise as an overall FIX solution, Actinver realized early in their evaluation process that Flyer extended their support and tools beyond the other conventional solutions. FIX Flyer works in the most demanding trading environments in the world, and that experience makes the product valuable to Actinver.

"We are delighted that Actinver relies on our engine and tools as the core components of their electronic trading infrastructure," said Brian Ross, CEO of FIX Flyer. "No other company in the world matches our expertise and quality and we are glad that Actinver also believes that great performing FIX infrastructure makes a difference for the worlds’ traders."
