Matrix Executions Launches Global Trading Hours Access Solution for US Listed Options
4.11.2024 13:45:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Matrix Executions, an agency-only broker dealer and trading technology provider, has launched a full coverage, electronic access solution to the global trading hours session (GTH) offered by CBOE. This enhancement to the Matrix technology infrastructure allows institutional traders the ability to trade and hedge broad-based market volatility in S&P 500 Index, CBOE Volatility Index, and Mini-SPX Index listed options nearly 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Matrix’s GTH electronic access will allow traders to route and execute orders in the SPX, VIX, and XSP options during the global trading session from 7:15pm - 8:15am CST. The updated technology and coverage will also allow for extended US Equity trading between 3am-7pm CST. These extended hours are in addition to Matrix’s coverage in the US regular trading and options curb sessions.
“After the GTH launch last year, we worked to offer partial access in extended hours to learn the nuances of how to deal in the fragmented sessions. This helped us gain the experience and learned what it would take to offer complete coverage over the entire session,” said Allen Greenberg, COO of Matrix Executions.
GTH access allows domestic traders to initiate or hedge positions overnight and empowers global traders in the EMEA and APAC regions to interact in the US options market during their local trading hours. Matrix’s plans to incorporate Matrix QRX ATS technology into their GTH order routing strategy to add potential opportunities for liquidity enhancement and price improvement during the global session.
“We realized there is a continued demand for US listed options globally and given the macroeconomic landscape, volatility-based hedging is warranted around the clock. We felt there was a valuable need to support the full GTH session with efficient technology and coverage to empower those traders anytime, anywhere,” stated Mike Sparacino, Head of Options Routing Strategy at Matrix.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment

The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend.

Far fewer can tell you whether it’s working. “Over the past several months, we’ve brought these two businesses together around a shared purpose: help enterprise businesses better understand and optimize their technology spend,” said Joel Martins, CEO of Brightfin. “What we are seeing now is a shift. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Teams need to be able to act, tied to real financial outcomes. See Clearly. Spend Better. That is our north star, and that is what our platform is built to
