The UK equities brokerage market is set to welcome a new player, Japanese SBI Securities, which partners with Broadridge Financial Solutions to launch its services in the region.

The move builds upon the two companies' existing relationship, which already sees Broadridge processing SBI Securities’ Japanese equities transactions in Hong Kong and Singapore.

SBI Securities Expands UK Presence with Broadridge's Post-Trade Solution

Through its UK subsidiary, SBI Shinsei International Limited, SBI Securities will leverage Broadridge's ASP cloud environment to streamline its operations and provide enhanced services to its clients. The adoption of Broadridge's Swift Service Bureau will automate SBI Shinsei International Limited's Swift messaging workflows with its custodian.

Ichiro Takahashi, the Head of Global Operations at SBI Securities, stated that the partnership has allowed them to enter the UK market quickly and confidently.

“Using Broadridge’s global standard for post-trade processing and Swift workflows allows us to provide attractive opportunities to SBI Securities’ clients as we expand around the world,” Takahashi added.

The collaboration between the two companies began nine years ago when SBI first implemented Broadridge's post-trade processing solutions in its core fixed-income trades.

“We are very excited to further expand our relationship with SBI Securities for the benefit of their clients in the UK,” added Mike Sleightholme, the President of Broadridge International.

For Broadridge, this is another collaboration in the Japanese market over the past month. In March, the local brokerage firm Matsui Securities implemented cloud solutions from the fintech to streamline stock lending.

New Platform and New Financial Report

The company unveiled a cutting-edge derivatives trading technology platform designed specifically for institutional clients a month ago. This software-as-a-service platform, known as Broadridge Futures and Options, aims to revolutionize the trading experience for buy-side clients while providing sell-side firms with valuable insights into trading activities and risk management .

Launching this new platform is a strategic response to the growing demand in the derivatives market, which has witnessed a surge in trading volumes. The introduction of Broadridge Futures and Options follows closely on the heels of the company's impressive financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024.

Broadridge reported a notable increase of 9% in total revenue, reaching $1,405 million. The company's recurring revenues also experienced significant growth, rising 7% year-over-year to $899 million. When adjusted for constant currency, this growth stands at a solid 6%, highlighting Broadridge's ability to thrive in the face of evolving market conditions.

In addition to its internal developments, Broadridge has been actively forging strategic partnerships to expand its reach and capabilities. The company recently collaborated with Baader Bank AG, leveraging its regulatory trade and transaction reporting platform.
