Horizon Software Announces New Connectivity to Singapore Exchange

Horizon Software (Horizon), the provider of electronic trading solutions and algorithmic technology for the global capital markets, announced on Tuesday (March 7) new connectivity to the Singapore Exchange Group (SGX Group).

By establishing this direct connection to SGX Group, clients of Horizon will benefit from the exchange’s equity, fixed income, currency and commodity markets, which operate to high regulatory standards, being able to “access and trade on multiple financial markets, make market on exchange traded funds (ETFs) and hedge in a faster, more efficient manner”.

As an SGX Group approved vendor, Horizon had launched its first client on SGX Securities Trading, the exchange’s trading platform, as early as November 2022, according to the company’ announcement.

“We are delighted to be working closely with SGX Group in Singapore and ASEAN region. Our aim is to promote our trading platform for securities products and derivatives, to allow the community to trade and market-make new instruments throughout Asia, extending our market coverage and connectivity in response to our client’s requirements. We look forward to further collaboration between Horizon Software and SGX Group, as we look ahead to future growth in the region,” said Emmanuel Faure, Head of APAC Sales at Horizon.

“To meet the diverse requirements and sophisticated trading strategies of global market participants today, we are constantly working with the right partners to deliver growth. We are delighted to welcome Horizon Software to provide market participants with access to our SGX Securities and Derivatives Trading,” added Pol De Win, Senior Managing Director, Head of Global Sales & Origination at SGX Group.

Singapore is known to be one of the main financial hubs in Asia. In last September, Horizon opened its first Singapore office​ to better serve its clients there and increase its visibility in the area.
