The launch of JPX-SGX Co-Location Direct occurs as cross border Tokyo/Singapore trading has increased since the turn of the millennium, partially due to dropping fiber costs associated with trading instantly between the two financial markets. In addition, due to regulatory restrictions involved with entering the Japanese market, many financial firms have made Singapore their home, with the financial hub becoming the top Asian center for forex trading according to the Bank of International Settlements Triennial 2013 FX Survey. As a result, this has caused demand to increase between Japanese firms, electing to trade with the increasing group of market participants arriving in Singapore and vice versa.
Commenting on the product launch, KVH President and CEO Ted Higase stated in the firm’s public remarks, “Serving the capital markets is part of KVH’s DNA and has been a prime focus since our beginning.” Higase added, “We are honored to serve the mission-critical needs of trading participants between both Singapore and Tokyo and bring added value through our robust network and complementary services.”
