About La Bolsa Electrónica de Chile:
Bolsa Electrónica de Chile (BEC) was created in 1989 and is the first Latin American exchange to use fully electronic systems to execute its trades. Since then, BEC has focused on the development of new products and services for its shareholders and broker-dealers. Until BEC was established, only one exchange controlled the majority of the trades executed in the Chilean market. When BEC began its operations, the market and the investors immediately benefitted. BEC introduced to the market real competition through lower fees, longer trading hours and the development of new trading solutions which transformed the Chilean capital market system. Today, BEC has 41 shareholders and 24 broker-dealers using its systems. In addition, all major banks, pension funds and institutional investors are also active exchange clients, who will all benefit from the new alliance between BEC and NASDAQ OMX.
