Fidessa provider Royalblue has broadened its coverage to include PLUS, the new London equity market service from PLUS Markets Group plc. Fidessa now provides direct electronic access and full market data content for PLUS.
Launched on December 5, the PLUS service is a quote-driven system providing alternative quotes to a number of stocks, some of them also traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Both listed and unlisted securities are eligible for admission to PLUS. At launch, a selection of smaller companies including the FTSE Small Cap are available for trading with others set to follow in the near future.
New releases of the Fidessa trading platform and Workstation incorporate displays enabling users to monitor prices and liquidity on multiple execution venues for individual listings. Users can now view a combined display of ‘time and sales’ data regardless of the market used for execution or trade reporting. Users of the Fidessa trading platform are also provided with comprehensive market-making and trade reporting facilities for PLUS service.
