CCB International Securities (CCBIS), the Hong Kong-based securities trading subsidiary of China Construction Bank has started using Fidessa’s Asian trading platform in response to growing demand for international solutions from institutional investors.

Fidessa’s Asian trading platform is a fully managed solution embracing client FIX connectivity, front office trading, middle office functionality and low latency exchange connectivity. As part of its new solution, CCBIS also joined Fidessa’s global connectivity network, which provides trading links between more than 310 brokers and 1,800 buy-sides around the world.

CCBIS becomes Fidessa’s ninth fully hosted Asian trading platform client. The investment bank has started using Fidessa’s order execution (trading direct as a member on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange), order and confirmation management and back office support, all of which was delivered along with full user training within 12 weeks from contract signature as part of the hosted trading platform package.
