Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), today announced that its NYFIX Order Routing Network from Itiviti was named “Best Low Latency Trading Network” for the second consecutive year at the Waters Technology’s Buy-Side Technology (BST) Awards 2021. This win marks the fifth time in the past six years NYFIX from Itiviti has taken home a prestigious BST award.

“We are honored to win another award from the WatersTechnology community, a judging panel comprised of industry experts from across the market,” said Ray Tierney, President of Itiviti, a Broadridge business. “This year, we have redoubled our efforts to support NYFIX to further increase the reliability of the trading infrastructure. With Broadridge’s backing, we are best positioned to serve our clients’ entire trade life cycle and further accelerate our plans that contribute to the continued electronification of the capital markets.”

The highly regarded Buy-Side Technology Awards are designed to acknowledge excellence in trading technology developed specifically for use by buy-side firms, designed to allow them to operate more efficiently, more transparently and more judiciously.

“The NYFIX Order Routing Network from Itiviti has long been an essential and trusted component of the global trading infrastructure,” said Victor Anderson, Global Content Director at WatersTechnology. “Itiviti’s continued investment in innovation in NYFIX and its entire suite of trading solutions keeps them ahead of the game in delivering excellence and reliability to customers across asset classes and around the world.”

Delivered as a managed service, NYFIX is one of the industry’s largest, most stable and flexible order routing networks, connecting more than 1,800 buy-side and sell-side participants and routing 35 million+ messages daily. In 2021, as FIX adoption expanded to additional asset classes, NYFIX further extended its already robust asset-class coverage, adding crypto, ETDs and fixed income. Additionally, Itiviti improved its onboarding process with the addition of an onboarding app through the NYFIX Portal, enabling users to easily connect and enable custom configuration of their NYFIX Matching service for post-trade processing.

Itiviti also dynamically increased the scale of its comprehensive NYFIX infrastructure in 2021 through the completion of its massive cloud transformation project, which provides an efficient and secure option for clients to extend their businesses’ across the globe. The transformation is especially beneficial to network users and NYFIX Matching customers, with the accelerated adoption of FIX for post-trade activity.

Broadridge Acquires Innovative Post-Trade Solutions Business

 

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:BR), a global Fintech leader, today announced that it has acquired Alpha Omega, a market-leading FIX-based post-trade solutions provider for the investment management industry. This acquisition builds on Broadridge’s recent acquisition of Itiviti. The acquisition, which encompasses the remaining 68% of Alpha Omega, will enable Broadridge to fully consolidate Alpha Omega’s post-trade matching and consolidation solution into its existing NYFIX connectivity and FIX infrastructure to better automate buy-side and sell-side firms’ trade matching processes and further accelerates Broadridge’s product roadmap.

“We are excited to formalize our four-year strategic partnership with Alpha Omega through this acquisition,” said Ray Tierney, President of Itiviti, a Broadridge business. “We are leading technology innovation in post-trade, and this acquisition is a testament to our continued growth and momentum in transforming this space. NYFIX Matching is the first ‘one-stop’ platform to handle all of a fund’s trade matching needs across various product types and asset classes.”

Alpha Omega brings invaluable expertise in advanced FIX-based technology for asset managers and broker/dealers in all areas covering automated allocation, confirmation and affirmation of trades for equities, fixed income securities, and derivatives.

NYFIX Matching, which combines Alpha Omega’s FIXAffirm solution with Itiviti’s NYFIX network, provides the market a single, consolidated platform to handle the entire affirmation process with the same speed and efficiencies of trading now applied to the post-trade piece of the workflow. Buy-side institutions can easily access NYFIX Matching through their existing NYFIX connections as a fully managed service. Through this service, the buy-side can allocate and match their trades, accomplishing same-day affirmation with a global community of more than 100 brokers. This extension of the NYFIX service into post-trade will deliver processing efficiencies with significant cost savings over current solutions.
