CME Group Inc. (CME) anticipates the business of providing fast
connections to computer-powered traders could bring in $100 million
in revenue within four to five years, a senior executive said
Wednesday.
The world's biggest futures-exchange operator plans to introduce
co-location services for electronic traders in early 2012, and more
than 100 customers have made early commitments to the program,
according to CME Chief Financial Officer Jamie Parisi.
CME, which has built a specialized data center to house its
electronic trading systems in the suburbs of Chicago, has estimated
that the new business could generate $30 million to $40 million in
revenue next year.
Such co-location services involve connecting electronic trading
firms' servers directly to an exchange's trade-matching engines,
with the systems operating within close proximity to cut down on
the time required to transmit orders across physical distances.
Offering a uniform service to all CME customers will ensure a
level playing field among high-speed traders, Parisi said Wednesday
at an event hosted by Citi Investment Research.
