DIRECT MARKET ACCESS

 

PhillipCapital enables prop traders to have low latency access to futures exchanges for both market data and order execution.

 

In the US, PhillipCapital can facilitate access to both Aurora (for CME) and 350 E Cermak (for ICE) while in Asia we offer colocation at the SGX datacenter in Singapore and co-location or proximity services to JPX in Tokyo.

We understand how much investment each client has to make to enter the DMA space, therefore we are extremely prudent when working with clients to ensure their needs are exceeded while their budget is not.

 

Further, given our long brokerage ancestry and experience, we understand and respect our client’s need for discretion and always work with the client at their comfort level.
