The new platform called Brazil Easy Investing (BEI) is powered by Chi-FX technology.

"This is a major milestone for our Chi-FX platform" said Tal Cohen, CEO of Chi-X Global in a statement. "Brazilian market participants will be able to offer their off-shore clients an automated solution for trading Brazilian equities with embedded FX rates, thereby reducing latency, broadening access and minimizing currency risk for international investors. This is an exciting time for Chi-FX and we will be exploring new opportunities to expand the platform throughout Latin America."

BM&FBOVESPA is in the process of completing the additional steps necessary to have BEI ready for participant certification and then full production use. We are looking forward to the launch of BEI, which coupled with the recent changes to the CPF registration process, will represent a significant step in the ongoing development of the Brazilian capital market and facilitated access to non-resident investors."
