Toby Corballis, CEO, Rapid Addition: "We are delighted to be working with the BVC by providing them with the lowest latency hub solution available on the market today."

Rapid Addition, the provider of low-latency trading technology solutions to financial institutions, has announced its engagement with the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) to implement GRHubTM, Rapid Addition's FIX Protocol gateway and order routing hub, and u-Trader, Rapid Addition's web-based, FIX-enabled dealing system.

GRHubTM is the latest addition to Rapid Addition's family of low latency financial information communications products. Built on Rapid Addition's GenerationZeroTM technology, GRHubTM is capable of onward routing Financial Information eXchange Protocol (FIX) messages, or acting as a gateway by converting them into an extensible list of commercially-available middleware protocols or proprietary in-house protocols.

u-Trader™ is Rapid Addition's lightweight buy-side trading application, which connects traders to multiple trading counterparties, either brokers or execution venues. Using u-Trader™ gives institutions the ability to automate their flow of equity orders, equity options, program, list, and portfolio trades, and also supports Direct Market Access (DMA) and algorithmic trading.

Toby Corballis, CEO of Rapid Addition, welcomed the announcement, saying: "We are delighted to be working with the BVC by providing them with the lowest latency hub solution available on the market today.
