In preparation for the launch of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect shares in October, five brokerages have turned to SunGard to access the China Connect programme via the Hong Kong Exchange's China Connect Open Gateway (CC OG).

 

SunGard’s solutions propel a number of financial services operations across the globe, helping customers connect to international markets and capture new trading opportunities.

 

The forthcoming launch of the new China Connect shares will provide increased investment opportunities between Hong Kong and Shanghai markets, with international investors to trade Shanghai 'A' shares via the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (northbound trading), and allow mainland investors to trade Hong Kong 'H' shares via the Shanghai Stock Exchange (southbound trading), subject to quotas both ways.

 

The combination of SunGard's Valdi Trader and its recently launched co-location services at the Hong Kong Exchange is helping customers to take advantage of these new investment opportunities.
