UNX has launched Catalyst Marketplace, an app store for the financial services industry.
The open trading technology provider is offering access to free, paid and trial version apps from broker-dealers, trading firms, exchanges and software companies. Users can: shop for brokerage solutions such as algorithms, order routing and analytics from various brokerages and investment banks around the world; stay abreast of breaking stories with programming from Bloomberg Television; purchase advanced trading analytics from a host of providers including QSG and Titan Trading Analytics; access investment research and recommendations; download UNX's Catalyst Execution Management System (EMS) for portfolio, single-stock and options trading and international order routing; procure financial quotes, news, charts, heat maps and other tools from various providers.
UNX says that it is encouraging outside developers to build applications for its platform, using the UNX Software Development Kit (SDK). CEO Thomas Kim comments: "Our model of an open marketplace nurtures and promotes technology innovation without the customary limitations. And our broker-neutral and open-source Marketplace truly facilitates best execution in that traders don't have to commit to a specific provider. Also, providers benefit from joining the Marketplace because it offers worldwide distribution-enabling them to better monetize their products and extend services to a broader client base. It's a conflict-free and unique value proposition for all involved."
