Research and development. We continuously develop our product offering to ensure our position as a market leader and driving force in the exchange industry. Investment decisions are made based on customer needs and general market trends.

 

This year we introduced a new technology roadmap for our next generation trading system, GENIUM. The roadmap builds on NASDAQ OMX’s combined experience and insight gained from operating exchanges and in supporting the operations of more than 70 exchanges, clearing organizations and central securities depositories around the world. Two key assets will be leveraged to realize the new roadmap:

 

   

INET, currently used by NASDAQ OMX for the U.S. equities markets and NASDAQ OMX Europe. Delivering sub-millisecond transaction speeds, the INET system is proven in handling trading volumes of more than five billion shares daily and routinely handles over 268,000 messages per second.

 

   

CLICK, the world’s most widespread trading system for integrated derivatives and equity trading, today powers derivatives trading on the exchanges of NASDAQ OMX Nordic and leading markets around the world, including Australian Securities Exchange, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, ICAP, ISE, and Singapore Exchange. CLICK also offers integrated clearing functionality through SECUR.

 

GENIUM has been designed not only to be the world’s fastest trading system, but also to combine innovative functionality with a modular approach to more efficiently manage change and create new advantages
