Citi Investor Services has enabled Financial Information eXchange (FIX) API connectivity for Asia Pacific exchange-traded fund (ETF) clients on its proprietary ETF platform — Advanced Citi ETF System (ACES).
The service launches in Australia and allows authorised participants to connect directly to the ACES platform for ETF order placement, creations, and redemptions.
Citi said the service will expand to Hong Kong later in 2026.
According to Citi, the integration is designed to improve operational efficiency and support greater automation across ETF workflows.
The ACES platform automates ETF processes including onboarding and basket creation.
Peggy Vena, head of ETF Services at Citi Investor Services, says: “The ETF sector globally, including in Asia Pacific, continues to see significant growth. To service these increasing flows, digitisation is critical for speed, efficiency, and standardisation.
“Extending FIX API connectivity to Asia Pacific demonstrates our continued commitment to investing in our platform and ETF Servicing business to benefit clients and the broader ecosystem.”
