FPL Announces Re-brand to Fix Trading Community

Launched over 15 years ago, Fix has become the de facto industry standard for trading messages. The organization has also revamped its web presence to provide a content hub model, in addition to the re-brand.

"We feel it is important to communicate to the industry that Fix Trading Community does not just look at the technical aspects of messaging standards, and that the organization is fundamentally focused on addressing the wider business challenges affecting its member firms and the industry as a whole through the use of standards," says Chris Pickles, co-chair of the Global Education and Marketing Committee, Fix Trading Community and head of industry initiatives for Global Banking and Financial Markets at BT. "Fix Trading Community is independent and neutral, and driven by industry participants. We are very proud to have some of the best Fix technical experts around the world actively contributing to the organization alongside senior business leaders. Together these industry representatives are shaping the future of financial trading."
