Access our market ​

As a member, you can connect directly to the JSE or through a value-added network service provider, depending on the service you need. 

DMA

JSE members can also offer direct market access (DMA),  which allows buy–side institutions such as investment managers, hedge funds and proprietary traders access to the JSE via a JSE member firm (brokerage firm).

London PoP
The JSE also recently established the JSE London PoP, which operates out of Equinix LD4 in Slough. It provides connectivity from London to the new Equity Market trading and information systems test environment based in Johannesburg. An appointed managed service provider (MSP) manages it on behalf of the JSE.

This facility allows you to host your infrastructure in the same vicinity as the infrastructure that drives the markets at the JSE. This enables low latency trading strategies through high-speed trading and market data access.
