List Group, a provider of trading solutions, has integrated its multi-asset platform FastTrade with CME Globex, the electronic trading platform at CME Group.
The connection enables Lists buy- and sell-side clients to access products across all major asset classes, including futures and options based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, and alternative investment products. These products are centrally cleared via CME Clearing, substantially mitigating counterparty risk.

Its single interface integrates with external electronic markets, brokers, information sources and internal markets. Its functionality includes market making support, algorithmic trading and risk management. In addition, FastTrade provides all the components needed for the creation of external and internal electronic markets.
Giving our clients direct access to CME Groups derivatives exchange adds greater product diversity for their multi-asset trading strategies on a global scale, sasy Stefano Falciani, managing director, List UK.
