Chi-X Global is a global, consortium-backed operator of alternative equity trading venues that compete with primary exchanges. Chi-X Global operates Chi-X Canada, Chi-X Japan, Chi-East (a 50/50, pan-Asian dark pool venture with SGX) and the Chi-Tech technology unit. It will launch Chi-X Australia on Monday, 31 October 2011[1].

Originally launched by Nomura Holdings subsidiary Instinet, Chi-X Global on October 18, 2011 announced that five major institutions -- Bank of America, GETCO, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Quantlab Financial -- had taken a minority stake in the firm[2].

Chi-X Global is operated independently from Chi-X Europe, which Instinet launched in 2007 before bringing on a similar consortium of major financial firms as owners[3]. In February 2011, BATS Global Markets has announced plans to acquire Chi-X Europe, with the transaction currently being reviewed by the United Kingdom's Competition Committee[4].

The name Chi-X is derived from the Greek letter Chi, written X, claimed to symbolise the crossing of the two sides of a trade. Along with the “X” from the Latin alphabet, the name supposedly signifies a combination of the old world and modern world, or traditional securities trading techniques married with cutting-edge technology[5].
