KGI Securities is launching the KGI MaxxTrader's electronic foreign exchange (FX) pricing and trading engine in Singapore, with the support of FlexTrade System.
With the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore's vision to become a global financial and pricing hub, KGI Securities will offer e-FX trading for all its products, including FX spot, forward, swaps, NDFs, metals and CFDs. Orders will get matched locally at SG1.
Ken Ong, Head of Financial Market Services, Director at KGI Securities (Singapore) said in the note:
We have seen our e-FX trading volumes grow exponentially over the years. With the new electronic FX Hub, our clients can gain better access to liquidity, more efficient price discovery and faster trade execution, working on this initiative accentuates Singapore's focus on improving market efficiency and growth in the region.
The service will be supported by global leader in multi-asset execution and order management company FlexTrade Systems.
KGI MaxxTrader is a "customizability, robustness, flexibility," platform that works as a "complete Solution for leveraged Spot FX and NDF Trading," the KGI said in its website.
The platform will provide users with an end-to-end trade workflow that will support aggregation, price creation, and distribution hosted out of NY4, LD4, and TY3 data centers.
