Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of alternative trading
venue operator Chi-X® Global Holdings LLC, today
announced plans to launch a second lit marketplace,
CX2™ ATS, in the first quarter of 2013.* With
CX2, Chi-X Canada will establish a unique and different
market model and further provide the trading community with
innovative solutions that result in greater choice and
functionality.
"Canada's equity landscape will soon change dramatically.

at the forefront of innovation both domestically and

to providing greater transparency and the means to reduce
execution costs. CX2 aims to target under-serviced areas of
the market such as institutional and retail investors. We're
excited to build upon Chi-X's history of innovation with this
launch."
Chi-X Canada participants will be able to leverage existing
connectivity to access CX2. More information about pricing
