RTS Realtime Systems Group, a leading global Independent Software Vendor, today announces that FIM Securities, one of the leading Finnish independent Brokers, offers other RTS customers Direct Market Access to the Helsinki and Stockholm Stock Exchanges through RTD Connect and RTD Net.

Benefits of RTD Connect at a glance:

  • Access to markets without membership
  • One single trading platform for all markets
  • Real-time Pre-Execution Limit Control
  • Real-time Risk Management
  • An alternative to existing order routing networks
  • Easy integration in existing IT platform

RTD Net guarantees a high performance network connection for those users of RTD Connect who do not wish to have their own network infrastructure. In addition to providing an optimal connection, RTD Net provides the means to control, maintain, set-up and install both the connection and the hardware for the required application.

“This solution makes it for our mutual customers very effective and efficient to trade the leading Nordic Exchanges. Our clients trade directly on these markets without any intervention or delay”, says Jan Forsbom, Managing Director of FIM Securities “Exchange membership and direct market connections involve both high investment and maintenance costs. RTD Connect combines true market access with great cost advantages, which is beneficial to both our and FIM’s customers. We are pleased to announce FIM as one of our first Nordic Customers”, says Engelbert Gemünden, CEO of RTS Realtime Systems Group.
