CIIS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), and is the overseas sole agent of SSE market data. With the award, Colt was recognised by CIIS for its active participation in exchange feed changes by providing valuable, prompt feedback, compliance, and licensing as a top real-time global data vendor that delivers all the components needed to connect to, and maintain, low latency market data – including managing performance, latency and bandwidth of data feeds.

Colt is a licensed market data vendor who offers direct and normalized market data feeds for equities, derivatives, commodities and foreign exchange (FX) from more than 50 exchanges and liquidity venues worldwide. Colt is also an official real time data vendor for a number of Chinese exchanges offered by CIIS which includes Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) and Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (ZCE).
