Co-Location Hosting Services –
Electronic Trading

Over the past decade, trading technology has undergone a major transformation. Ten years ago, co-location was not in anyone’s vocabulary. Now it is almost a given in the high-speed trading community, and the search is on for new ways to maintain the so-called “infrastructure edge.”

A deluge of telecommunication companies and network vendors are pouring resources into the financial space, making it possible to build extremely fast networks of co-located servers. Telecommunication carriers are now building and marketing new fiber paths between major financial centers that are specifically tailored to financial customers. This new landscape has created a renewed interest in cross-asset trading that links these market centers.

All major global exchanges and venues now offer high-speed access via co-location services. The expansion of co-location services has opened up a number of interesting arbitrage opportunities among these futures markets and also between these futures markets and related markets in other asset classes such as equities, equity options, fixed income, rates, commodities and foreign exchange.
