History
FFastFill was founded to provide a software platform for electronic trading and risk management for derivative products. In 2000 it was listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. More recently, the company became an Application Services provider in the sector.[3]
Major milestones for FfastFill have included producing its first software product, a PC-based trading and risk-management system in 1999. In 2000, the company produced a client-server system for trading and risk management of derivatives. In 2003, FfastFill's applications service went live.
In June 2010, Ffastfill announced connectivity to the Singapore Mercantile Exchange, which has plans to launch in August 2010.[4]
In late November 2010, FFastFill announced that they had built a platform for Newedge buy-side customers to connect to the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the Dalian Commodities Exchange, the Zhengzhou Commodities Exchange and the China Financial Futures Exchange. This is one of the first platforms that allows FFastFill customers to trade Chinese futures from a single trading screen. [5]
On November 22, 2011, the firm announced the acquisition of WTD Consulting Inc. for up to $12 million. The deal was expected to help Ffastfill finish the customization of its back-office product called Eclipse in the US market. WTD has extensive experience in the post-trade processing sector for exchange traded derivatives and over-the-counter markets.[6]
