TradingScreen Inc, the execution management system (EMS) providing multi-broker and multi-asset class trading systems to Buy-Side institutions, has announced that Aizawa Securities, the Japanese financial services firm, has joined its network of execution services counterparties.

The TradingScreen-Aizawa integration, say the companies, will provide Buy Side traders access to securities across all regional Japanese exchanges. They also state that Aizawa Securities clients will now gain access to fully normalized cash, derivative, and OTC markets currently supported by TradeNet, TradingScreen's broker network.

"Aizawa Securities is expanding business in China and other Asian countries. With this new connection with TradingScreen, we are looking forward to increase our Japanese equity business with clients overseas", commented Aizawa Securities on the agreement.

"We continue to work closely with our Buy Side clients to provide a greater choice and access to additional broker destinations for their order execution. Adding Aizawa Securities to the TradingScreen network extends the reach of our local Japanese broker community", said Bernard Ho, Head of TradingScreen Asia Pacific and Japan Sales. "We look forward to working together with Aizawa on their electronic trading expansion plans across the growing markets in China and Asia region."
