NYFIX MILLENNIUM SETS RECORD IN MATCHING VOLUME;

NYFIX ANNOUNCES STRONG NETWORK GROWTH AND PIPELINE

 

STAMFORD, CT, November 7, 2005: NYFIX, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NYFX), NYFIX, Inc., a leader in technology solutions for the financial marketplace, today announced that it executed a record 20,329,110 shares of NYSE- and AMEX-listed securities on November 2, 2005, on its NYFIX Millennium Alternative Trading System (ATS).

 

“NYFIX Millennium has seen a steady increase in matched volume and last week’s record day of 20.3 million shares punctuates Millennium’s status as the premier alternative trading system for listed securities,” said Robert C. Gasser, Chief Executive Officer of NYFIX Transaction Segment.

 

The NYFIX Millennium ATS is an automated execution venue designed to maximize execution quality and reduce overall transaction costs. Millennium offers users the opportunity to achieve price or liquidity improvements while mitigating negative price impact for institutional-size trades. Linked to the primary markets and regional exchanges, Millennium leverages the power of the NYFIX network while its real-time matching algorithm executes trades at or better than the National Best Bid or Offer (NBBO).

 

In other news, the Company announced that it had experienced strong growth from institutional clients for its NYFIX Network service. The Company currently provides electronic trading connectivity to more than 200 buyside firms, increasing the number of connections among institutions and brokerage firms to over 3700, up 1300 – or 54 percent – in the past year. The pipeline for network connectivity remains robust.

 

“Part of our ongoing strategy is to increase NYFIX’s penetration at each client, offering users a host of services to improve their trading operations, all from a single source,” said Peter Kilbinger Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of NYFIX, Inc. “While the number of firms subscribing to the NYFIX Network continues to grow, we are also providing existing firms with more connectivity options.” Mr. Hansen also noted that company’s buyside network and transaction businesses represent the fastest growing areas for the NYFIX.
