The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), Africa’s largest stock exchange, has launched new initiatives to improve electronic trading access and infrastructure for both local and international investors. In partnership with Rapid Addition, the JSE introduced JSE-FIX, a new order routing service using FIX Community messaging standards. This service enables global investors to integrate South African equities into their portfolios with minimal system changes, supporting broader asset class trading and reducing transaction costs.

Additionally, the JSE has expanded its collaboration with cloud provider Beeks Group to launch Colo 2.0, a second co-location facility. Designed to offer low-latency, cost-efficient cloud services for brokers and institutional investors, Colo 2.0 is located close to the main matching engine and boasts a roundtrip latency of just 11 microseconds. With growing demand and enhanced resilience, this solution supports scalable trading operations in a market where AI and algorithmic trading are on the rise, reinforcing the JSE’s role as a key gateway for investment in Africa.
