Phillip Securities consulted AlgoTrader to meet their desire for custom execution algos for Japanese futures trading on the JPX. It was important to have a robust, performant and flexible electronic-trading infrastructure to handle Phillip’s precise requirements.
After the successful Go-Live, Phillip Securities’ institutional clients are now able to gain better execution prices and minimize slippage and market impact. Due to the open architecture of AlgoTrader, the software was able to cater to the specific requirements of Phillip Securities. Hence, Phillip Securities can now satisfy the increasing demand from their institutional clients around the world for high quality, execution of Japanese futures using execution algorithms.
“In today’s world, it is increasingly important to invest in technology and people to better serve customer’s needs. Being a niche broker, we have to focus on being where others aren’t and one step ahead. We are happy about the successful go-live and implementation of our own custom execution algos for the popular Index futures products on the JPX. The algos are integrated with our newly launched dark pool, offering price improvement with reduced tick sizes. It follows our consistent approach to provide our clients with a flexible system to better serve our client’s needs. The advantage is of great benefit for our clients: straight-through processing and better execution quality” says Serdar Armutcu, Head of Electronic Trading of Phillip Securities.
With the help of AlgoTrader’s algorithmic trading software and its on-premise functionalities, Phillip Securities can manage their customer order flow more easily and conveniently to exploit existing inefficiencies in the market through disciplined, rules-based automated trading.
“AlgoTrader AG is pleased to support Phillip Securities with our institutional-grade algorithmic trading software. We see increasing demand in the market for custom execution algos and both Phillip Securities and its clients will benefit from this critical functionality," concludes Richard Chmiel, CRO of AlgoTrader AG.
