MIZUHO SECURITIES Becomes The First Japanese GL NET Collector On Tokyo Stock Exchange And Osaka Securities Exchange Cash Markets

Date 01/09/2005

GL TRADE, global provider of electronic order management and trading, clearing and settlement solutions, announces that it has signed a contract with MIZUHO SECURITIES for order collecting through GL NET. Through this network dedicated to trading, Mizuho Securities will collect for Japanese cash markets, including Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) and Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE).

This arrangement enables MIZUHO SECURITIES to collect orders from non-member brokers to trade directly on both markets without being a full member themselves. GL NET offers access to more than 100 cash and derivatives markets worldwide and gathers a community of over 550 international financial institutions.

“Many international brokers are looking for direct access to Japanese markets such as TSE and OSE”, comments Jean-Pierre Baron, CEO GL TRADE ASIA. “Since Mizuho is one of the strongest research information providers, it should be of great interest for our foreign clients to place orders through them.”
