Scila Surveillance deployed at innovative multi-asset marketplace
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
LMAX launches platform to transform retail financial trading
Scila Surveillance, a leading market surveillance and monitoring solution
marketed by Swedish Cinnober, went live today on a new Multilateral Trading
Facility (MTF): LMAX. Established by Betfair, the world's leading sports betting
exchange, LMAX launched today and is set to transform retail contracts for
difference (CFD) and FX trading.
LMAX will initially allow customers to trade rolling spot FX contracts and CFDs
in equity indices, commodities, bonds and interest rates, with other asset
classes to be added to the platform in due course. LMAX is the first CFD multi-
asset trading venue with central clearing that does not take positions against
customers.
"With this launch, we're bringing some true innovation to the financial market
offering retail access and the possibility to trade as an equal with financial
institutions," said Robin Osmond, CEO of LMAX. "We have a multi-asset offering,
and with Scila Surveillance we only need one surveillance tool to monitor our
entire market. It's a very modern, user-friendly solution that will help us
ensure market integrity at LMAX."
Scila Surveillance is a fully-fledged, Java-based surveillance system provided
by Cinnober to trading venues, regulators and compliance departments. The system
has been implemented at a number of trading venues - spanning from equities to
commodities and derivatives markets, including the Nordic MTF Burgundy, the Hong
Kong Mercantile Exchange, Oslo Børs and EDX London.
"LMAX is a very exciting new MTF with a unique offering to the retail market,
and we're proud to deliver their market surveillance solution," said Jan Arpi,
CEO of Cinnober. "It also emphasizes the strength of our offering. When LMAX is
fully up and running, Scila will cover the whole spectra of instruments
available in financial markets in one and the same marketplace. Together with
the Scila team of senior surveillance professionals and system architects, we
offer something new for market surveillance and compliance professionals: a
flexible and easy-to-use multi-purpose solution with a low total cost of
ownership."
Cinnober provides high-transaction trading and clearing related systems to a
number of leading venues, including Alpha Trading Systems, Burgundy, the Chicago
Board Options Exchange, the London Metal Exchange, Markit BOAT and NYSE Liffe.
