Latency Considerations
Global financial infrastructure is inherently constrained by physical network distance and routing conditions.
For reference:
The typical one-way latency between Hong Kong and London is approximately 200ms under standard conditions.
Even dedicated institutional-grade leased lines generally achieve latency levels around 160ms.
As such, strategy design and execution expectations should take global network physics and routing realities into consideration.
Infrastructure Philosophy
Our infrastructure strategy focuses on:
Stability over marketing latency claims
Regional optimization
Institutional-grade routing architecture
Redundancy and operational resilience
Scalable connectivity for quantitative and professional trading environments
We continuously evaluate additional deployment regions and infrastructure enhancements to support future growth and evolving client requirements.
