FIX is now the de facto messaging standard for the electronic communication of equity, listed derivative and foreign exchange trades and is developing momentum within the fixed income markets. Its potential to further improve the trading process and provide new capabilities for all industry participants is limitless. As an example, the FIX Protocol was traditionally developed to facilitate buy-side to sell-side communication, however, is now expanding into the exchange and regulatory space.

Technical and business professionals from FPL member firms coordinate their activities and organize their work through a series of committees, subcommittees, and working groups, all overseen by a Global Steering Committee. FPL’s groups aim to ensure consistency of protocol application as it is extended into new markets, asset classes, and phases of the trade lifecycle. In addition to the rigorous engineering and technical efforts undertaken to ensure the ongoing applicability of the protocol to financial-market systems, the FIX Protocol benefits from an energetic educational and marketing effort that seeks to keep the specification viable, relevant, and responsive to the needs of market participants.
