Construction of its new co-location facility is complete, TMX Group Inc. said Thursday. Commencing June 30, clients will be installing their trading applications in the TMX data centre and receiving the benefits of direct high-speed access to the Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange and Montreal Exchange trading engines and market data feeds.

“Our co-location facility provides our trading and data clients with a single point of access to our multi-asset class trading enterprise with the fastest possible response times,” said Brenda Hoffman, senior vice president and chief information officer, TMX Group (TSX:X).

TMX Group announced the new co-location facility in the fall of 2009. The exchange-quality space, which was designed to accommodate up to 200 co-location spaces, was built to meet the growing domestic and international demand for these services. Co-location services are available to any market participant.

“Co-located clients can directly access a broad range of TMX Group equity and derivative data feeds including the TMX Equity Information Processor,” said Eric Sinclair, president, TMX Datalinx and Group Head of Data. “We also offer a range of low-latency routing and connectivity options into other domestic and international markets to facilitate cross-market trading strategies.”
