NYFIX TO OFFER TABB REPORT ON BUY-SIDE PERSPECTIVE ON TRANSACTION COST RESEARCH VIA NYFIX.COM

 

STAMFORD, CT, November 8, 2005: NYFIX, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NYFX), NYFIX, Inc. a leader in technology solutions for the financial marketplace, has teamed with TABB Group, the financial industry research and advisory firm, to offer qualified institutions the recently completed TABB Group report entitled, “Trading Under a Microscope: a Buy-side Perspective on Transaction Cost Research.”

 

The report, authored by Adam Sussman, TABB Group senior consultant, draws on interviews of 53 buy-side participants at firms with a combined $US 5 trillion in assets under management, and provides an inside look at the buy-side’s thinking on Transaction Cost Research (TCR). TABB Group defines TCR as an attempt to estimate or measure the cost of a transaction and subsequently provide guidance on how to effectively manage those costs within a trading strategy.

 

As an up and coming player in the TCR space, NYFIX was eager to gain the buy-side’s viewpoint on this important topic and paid for the right to distribute this groundbreaking report, the financial industry’s first on transaction cost research. “As we seek to serve our clients more effectively, the buy-side’s perspective of TCR, including the value of measuring transaction costs and the overall impact on the money management industry, provides us with critical information to help us structure and fine tune our product offering. We are pleased to be able to utilize TABB Group research to impact a wider audience in the marketplace and as a value-add, we are happy to share this information with the institutional investment community,” commented Peter Kilbinger Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of NYFIX, Inc.

 

NYFIX offers TCR functionality as part of NYFIX Sidekick™,a real-time execution quality management tool designed to help buy-side traders measure and monitor the quality of their executions across various market centers and brokers. Users of the NYFIX Network, regardless of their front-end provider, can utilize NYFIX Sidekick to review numerous real-time transaction cost statistics.
