Calyon connect to CFE via Patsystems


Calyon Financial has connected to CBOE Futures (CFE) through Patsystems.

 "Our customers have shown considerable interest in connecting electronically to the CFE, and with the involvement of Patsystems and the CFE, we've developed a robust tool that allows them to do that," said Leslie Sutphen, global head of E-brokerage strategy, Calyon Financial.

 The connectivity allows Calyon clients access to all CFE products, including futures on the CBOE volatility index; CBOE DJIA volatility index; CBOE Nasdaq-100 volatility index; CBOE Russell 2000 volatility index; CBOE S&P 500 three- and twelve-month variance, and CBOE S&P 500 buy write index.

"Patsystems is pleased to offer connectivity to CFE. It is important to us that our customers have access to the exchanges and products they desire. In this case, that meant providing Calyon Financial with access to the CFE," said Patrick Kenny, Patsystems managing director, North America.

CFE MD, Andrew Lowenthal said, "CFE has seen a remarkable increase in volume this year as volatility has become a globally traded asset class. By connecting Calyon Financial to CFE, we continue to broaden our reach to the volatility trading community and provide Calyon Financial's clients access to the unique products available only on CFE."
