The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) has recently debuted a novel order routing service named JSE-FIX in partnership with Rapid Addition, a prominent trading and connectivity solutions provider. This service is designed to streamline the process of sending orders by offering market participants a scalable solution that is adaptable across various vendors, venues, and asset classes. JSE-FIX stands out for providing vendor-neutral connectivity, facilitating efficient counterparty interactions for both local and international asset managers.
Through JSE-FIX, member firms of the JSE gain the capability to electronically receive orders and send trade confirmations spanning different asset classes available on the exchange. This integration seamlessly merges with their execution management workflows, enhancing operational efficiency. The introduction of JSE-FIX complements the JSE’s existing suite of products and services, following the 2023 launch of its low-latency Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) colocation service, Colo 2.0.
Mike Powell, CEO of Rapid Addition, emphasized the shared objective of reducing trading complexities and costs through collaborative technological solutions with the JSE. This collaboration underscores a commitment to fostering an innovative and cost-effective trading environment. Valdene Reddy, Director Capital Markets at the JSE, highlighted the exchange’s dedication to fostering innovation in financial markets across Africa by partnering with leading financial technology firms such as Rapid Addition.
In a strategic move to enhance its infrastructure, the JSE expanded its partnership with Beeks and IPC System to fortify its Colo 2.0 offering with dual-location disaster recovery capabilities. This expansion enables the JSE to leverage cloud-based solutions in African financial markets, ensuring adaptability to market dynamics and maintaining high performance and resilience. Through Beeks’ Exchange Cloud and IPC’s data center solutions, the JSE can swiftly respond to market demands and regulatory changes, with a secondary data center ensuring robustness and adaptability.
The extension of the partnership builds on the successful rollout of Colo 2.0 in 2023 and subsequent contract extensions driven by heightened demand from the financial sector. This strategic move positions the JSE to remain at the forefront of technological advancements and infrastructure resilience within the financial markets landscape. The collaboration underscores the importance of flexible and agile infrastructure in meeting the evolving needs of customers and regulatory requirements, setting a precedent for innovation in the African financial sector.
