EMX Company Ltd. was founded in 1999 by AUTIF (now part of the IMA) for
the purpose of creating and promoting an industry standard for the electronic
trading and valuation of collectiveinvestments. That standard is provided by the EMX Message System which has become the market infrastructure of choice for funds messaging. By using a single standard set of data, entered once, the EMX Message System brings high levels of automation to dealing, settlement, risk mitigation, reconciliations, valuations and reregistration. By reducing or even eliminating the delays and errors associated with manual processes, funds dealing is faster, cheaper, easier and safer with the ability to cope with any fluctuations in volume. In 2007 EMXCo has seen fantastic growth with over 14 million messages passing through the EMX Message System from January to August 2007, an increase of 70% on the same period in 2006. In January 2007, EMXCo became part of the Euroclear group.
