Aton Capital, one of the leading sell-side institutions in Russia and region’s foremost provider of technology-based equity execution services, has deployed Ullink’s connectivity and order routing platform, the ULBridge, to manage its FIX connectivity. The platform enables Aton Capital to be directly connected to markets in DMA and also to route EDA orders to their internal OMS.

We believe that with the solution’s low latency and modularity we will significantly improve the services we provide to our electronic clients,” says Michael Kotov, Head of Aton Electronic Trading Services (AETS).
