GERMAN TRADING SYSTEMS PROVIDER TO CONNECT TO NEW ELECTRONIC FUTURES EXCHANGE

Posted March 13, 2008

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Electronic futures exchange operator ELX Electronic Liquidity Exchange has secured a commitment from Frankfurt-based trading systems provider Realtime Systems Group (RTS) to offer connectivity to its new exchange, which is preparing to begin operations, for a range of market participants.

ELX expects RTS’s suite of products will create liquidity and lower trading costs for market participants. “RTS looks forward to working closely with the founding members of the new exchange and other participants in order to contribute to providing unparalleled trading opportunities in the futures marketplace,” says Steffen Gemünden, Co-Chief Executive Officer of RTS.

In addition, RTS has unveiled new corporate branding, a logo featuring three horizontal bars representing high performance, robustness and innovative engineering.

The company’s new focus is about much more than a logo, contends Gemünden. “We want our clients to focus on trading while we take the lead on the technology and efficiencies that meet their trading needs,” he says.
