Instinet’s Newport Named Best EMS In AsianInvestor Awards

Instinet Incorporated, an independent, global agency-only broker* that will soon serve as the equity trading arm of the Nomura Group, today announced that its Newport® EMS has been named “Best EMS” in the 2012 AsianInvestor Service Provider Awards.

The award is the platform’s latest accolade, closely following Instinet’s selection in July as “Best Execution Management System Provider” for Newport in the 2012 Waters Rankings.

As Instinet’s premier trading platform, Newport is a global, multi-asset, broker-neutral system that also serves as the primary gateway to the firm’s full suite of electronic trading tools, including the Execution Experts® algorithmic suite and Instinet Insight global transaction cost analysis platform.

Commenting on the award, Frank Freitas, Chief Operating Officer of Instinet Incorporated, said: “We’re extremely pleased to once again be recognized by the industry for Newport’s excellence. We’ve worked diligently with our global buy-side user base over the past several years to build out the platform’s capabilities, and we see this award as a clear reflection of the momentum Newport is gaining within the community. We are firmly committed to continuing this approach to ensure that Newport remains the industry’s leading EMS.”
