Fidessa Enables ASEAN Through Broker Partnerships

CIMB, DBS Vickers, Maybank Kim Eng, OCBC Securities, Philip Securities and UOB Kay Hian are all enabling pan-ASEAN trading through the network.

"This is an important time for South East Asia, as individual markets within the ASEAN region are proving increasingly attractive to international investors," says Jean-Pierre Baron, managing director at Fidessa Asia-Pacific. "For example, with a population of 244 million and a GDP in the region of $1 trillion, Indonesia is recognised as one of the world's fastest-growing emerging economies. The Philippines Stock Exchange has started to offer direct market access, encouraging more advanced trading. Members of the Fidessa network can easily access these important destinations and work with brokers that have local knowledge, which in turn enables them to operate more efficiently and provide a better client service."
