This brings free market data a step closer by enabling Chi-X data to be distributed via Arcontech's CityVision StarNet applications, used by financial institutions for publishing market data on large networks and the Internet.

The Chi-X Handler will become part of Arcontech's EuroVision suite (announced earlier this year) that helps institutions with their new MiFID obligations regarding pre and post trade reporting and best execution.

Chi-X offers its market data at no cost to qualifying organisations and Arcontech's CityVision makes this data easily available and in a vendor-independent way.

Andrew Miller, managing director of Arcontech, said: "We are finding that more firms want to take data direct from the source, for reasons such as quality and speed. If more data sources follow the Chi-X example of providing free market data, then the cost of traditional vendors will become an issue. Our software will give firms direct and cost-effective access to the emerging venues and price sources."

Hirander Misra, Director of Instinet Chi-X Limited, said: "Chi-X seeks to provide investors with a faster, cheaper and smarter alternative for trading European equities. We welcome Arcontech's Chi-X handler, which will help our clients access Chi-X market data whilst also meeting MiFID requirements."
