Turquoise Chief Information Officer, Yann L'Huillier, said:

“Speed and quality of trading is crucial for our members, and a lack of transparency in the execution process can undermine their trading strategies.

Turquoise sees CorvilClear as an opportunity to develop the first latency transparent market on our MTF.”

Chris Marsh, Head of Advanced Execution Services (AES) Trading and Product Development in Europe, Credit Suisse, said:

CorvilClear is a novel means of achieving that clarity. We look forward to leveraging its benefits with more latency transparent venues and providers.”

Neonet CEO and President, Simon Nathanson, said:

“Maintaining a low latency trading infrastructure is essential for driving our electronic execution business. The velocity of Neonet’s direct market access, algorithmic, smart order routing and real time market data services must continuously operate at peak, ultra low latency performance levels, and will now have a strong catalyst in CorvilNet 5.1. It will also enable us to manage our IT infrastructure more efficiently.”
