TNS Expands US Equities Trading Capabilities with Bruce ATS Connectivity

Transaction Network Services (TNS) announced today that it has added market data connectivity to Bruce ATS™, a new overnight trading venue operated by Bruce Markets LLC. This addition is intended to expand TNS' 24x5 US equities trading capabilities and provide comprehensive global access to emerging exchange venues.

TNS is now delivering Bruce ATS market data through its secure, low-latency infrastructure, aiming to provide reliable access for clients worldwide. Jeff Mezger, Vice President of Product Management at TNS, commented, "By adding Bruce ATS to our market data portfolio, we're helping firms in overseas markets trade US equities during non-traditional trading hours."

He further explained that with increasing demand for US equities data from regions such as Asia, TNS's low-latency delivery and 24x5 support model aim to ensure clients have the real-time access needed for competitiveness. TNS' global backbone is designed to facilitate the seamless delivery of US market data into Asia, addressing growing interest from firms looking to trade US equities during Asian market hours.

Bruce ATS, which leverages Nasdaq's market technology and data distribution capabilities, is actively expanding its reach and seeking partnerships with firms that have strong retail broker networks.

Jason Wallach, CEO of Bruce ATS, stated, "Expanding our market data reach through TNS is a natural step in scaling Bruce ATS to meet growing global demand." He added that "TNS' robust infrastructure and extensive broker-dealer relationships give us a direct path to firms eager to access US equities during extended trading hours." Bruce ATS joins a lineup of 24x5 market venues supported by TNS, including Blue Ocean ATS.

TNS's infrastructure includes over 5,000 financial community endpoints and a global, 125-strong point-of-presence footprint, with solutions monitored 24x7x365 by Network Operations Centers in the US, UK, Australia, and Malaysia.
