Deutsche Asset Management is to link up to Transaction Network Services' (TNS) IP-based network to provide its brokers with FIX connectivity.
The firm will use the TNS platform to exchange data with all of its brokers via the FIX protocol.
Didier Giesen, international sales director, TNS, says the network will also provide connectivity to Deutsche Asset Management's key trading partners.
"A broker can be added to our network quickly on their behalf, and the creation of secure and reliable VPNs (virtual private networks) means that information can only be accessed by the individual for whom it is intended," says Giesen.
