China Merchants Securities (CMS) has gone live on Fidessa’s managed and outsourced Asian trading platform, making the upgrade to benefit for additional capabilities.
CMS will use the Fidessa system as a platform for the Hong Kong market, taking advantage of its global financial information exchange network, algorithm-based trading engine and post-trade allocation and commission calculating abilities.
The system will be fully integrated with CMS’s existing internal systems as well as third-party networks and systems.
Danny Hung, assistant president of CMS, said: "Being one of China's major players in the Hong Kong market, innovation is very important to us to continue to offer a premium service.”
“Fidessa’s solution allows us to offer a seamless trading experience to our clients, and importantly, it can also scale with us as we continue on our journey of expansion in Asia. Fidessa knows Asia as well as we do, which was an important factor in choosing their platform."
Jean-Pierre Baron, managing director of Fidessa in Asia, said: "Fidessa has performed strongly in Asia over the past 12 months. This latest implementation is a reflection of the hard work we’ve put into adapting our platform to the local environment."
He added: "Our solution is now used by the leading China players in the Hong Kong market who view Fidessa as their partner of choice to help expand their businesses. We have performed well in this segment of the market and we are honoured to be bringing value to CMS as well as to be considered as a new strategic partner to them."
