Curex liquidity not subject to last-look

Paul Alves, head of FX Connect commenting in the press release: “FX Connect is dedicated to supporting clients’ needs, providing market leading tools to meet their execution requirements and manage their pre- and post-trade workflows. We believe that Cürex offers our clients a unique solution, and we are pleased to add this new capability to our suite of execution methods.”

Curex streams liquidity from 13 major banks, which it described as not subject to “last-look” execution, where banks would otherwise have a fleeting moment to decide whether the trade is favorable for them to execute or not.

The company also highlighted how all executions via Cürex have respective price prints on the FTSE Cürex FX benchmark indices thus providing an audit trail for compliance purposes, if any trade execution price was in question. The offering is aimed to help support best-execution practices for buy-side institutions.

Commenting in the official press release, Cürex Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jamie Singleton said: “Cürex’s sole mission is to provide FX solutions to the buy side. We are delighted that FX Connect has taken the affirmative step to make our solutions available to their customers. We have spent years building our unique execution services and data analytics into an integrated platform. Given the rapidly changing dynamics of the FX marketplace and increasing pressure by regulators for greater transparency, we believe that Cürex is well positioned to address the buy sides’ needs in partnership with FX Connect.”
