Quantitative Brokers brings award winning agency algorithms and multi-broker transaction cost analysis to the ASX derivatives market
SYDNEY, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Quantitative Brokers (QB), an independent provider of advanced algorithms and 
data-driven analytics to clients in the Futures and US Cash Treasury markets, 
today announced it has launched its award winning, premium execution algorithms 
on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) derivatives market. This is the 
first time QB algorithms have been available for trading on an exchange in the 
Asia-Pacific region, following the opening of QB's regional office in Sydney 
late last year.

QB also launched its state-of-the-art Multi-Broker Transaction Cost Analysis 
(TCA) across selected ASX Futures instruments. This provides market 
participants such as superannuation funds, asset managers and hedge funds an 
independent, broker-neutral tool to measure execution quality of not only 
algorithmic orders, but also direct market access (DMA) and voice broker trades.

The new service will be available for ASX's 3 and 10 Year Treasury Bond, 
Australian 90-day bank bill, New Zealand 90-day bank bill and S&P/ASX 200 Index 
Futures.

QB will provide its full suite of intelligent agency algorithms to clients 
trading on the ASX, including its flagship strategy Bolt (arrival price), as 
well as Legger (relative value) and Closer (settlement price). These algorithms 
are based on detailed quantitative research to achieve best execution. They are 
engineered to address unique market microstructure features and behaviours of 
the ASX Futures markets. This helps clients to reduce slippage, streamline 
trading workflows and quantify their best execution statistics.

Co-located within the ASX's Australian Liquidity Centre (ALS) and leveraging 
low latency connections, the algorithms are accessible via all major OMS and 
EMS platforms as well as direct FIX connectivity, providing clients with highly 
convenient and advanced trading capabilities.

"We are excited to launch our algorithmic execution strategies on the ASX and 
provide a high level of transparency and insight with our Multi-Broker TCA. 
This gives new clients in the region an opportunity to optimise their 
execution, while remaining compliant with the Australian Securities & 
Investments Commission's (ASIC) guidelines such as RG 97. At the same time the 
new algorithms empower our existing clients from the U.S. and Europe to trade 
with more edge on the ASX," said Christian Hauff, Co-Founder and Head of APAC 
at QB.

"Following the launch of our Sydney office, QB continues to make headway in 
APAC by bringing our algorithms and Multi-Broker TCA to the ASX," said Ralf 
Roth, CEO of QB. "We look forward to the next step in QB's expansion roadmap, 
as we take our big-data approach to trading and apply our expertise to other 
APAC markets, such as the Tokyo Stock Exchange (JPX) and Singapore Exchange 
(SGX)."
