KVH in Finance: Connecting the Asian Markets

KVH Plug & Trade™ is a key part of the KVH Financial Extranet, a global low latency network that connects market venues, market participants and their service providers, and offers robust infrastructure for the secure management and delivery of mission-critical information.

KVH Plug & Trade™ is our flagship offering to trading participants in the KVH Financial Extranet.

In Asia Pacific, each market structure has different regulatory frameworks, diverse corporate rules, and unique trading behaviors, as well as cultural and language barriers. These issues can be easily underestimated and are often the key causes of why financial market participants experience more challenges in setting up entry to the Asia Pacific liquidity pools than they do in North America or Europe.

To succeed in this endeavor and capitalize on the opportunities in Asia Pacific, market participants need innovative service providers, brokers, crossing networks, and more. KVH is one of the most innovative ICT providers making this task easier with its flagship Plug and Trade™ service offering.

The KVH Plug & Trade™ solutions stack provides:

Financial firms can simply plug-in at your chosen point of differentiation or price point viability to realize quicker time to market and lower total cost of ownership.

Exchange Colocation and HostingKVH offers Exchange Colocation and Hosting Services at the data centers of TSE, OSE, HKEx, SGX, and ASX. Whenever feasible, KVH’s International POPs are also located in the same exchange data centers, often on the same floors. This strategic combination allows trading customers to have direct market access to the matching engine of the home exchange, and enables the fastest access to other financial exchanges through KVH’s low latency network to suit customers with multi-venue trading strategies.

Proximity HostingIn cases where exchange colocation is not available or the customers’ trading strategies require a neutral location, especially in markets with multiple trading venues, customers can leverage KVH’s Proximity Hosting Services. These services are offered through data centers located in key trading hubs, where there are high concentrations of market participants, including brokers/dealers, market makers, market data vendors, and ISVs. Furthermore, by leveraging KVH’s low latency network, customers can be assured of the fastest access to trading venues in domestic and overseas financial markets. For example, KVH Proximity Hosting is provided in KVH TDC1 in Tokyo and also in Koscom’s Data Center in Busan, Korea.

Managed Infrastructure ServicesKVH offers hosting solutions that provide comprehensive support for system on-boarding and ongoing management of trading infrastructure. Experienced KVH engineers help build the electronic trading rack, install all devices to the customer’s specifications, and support end-to-end connectivity testing. KVH Operations monitor these systems around-the-clock and handle maintenance to ensure that these financial institutions are always up and running. This service is offered in all exchange colocation and proximity data centers.

Facilitation ServicesMultilingual capabilities throughout KVH, from Senior Management and Sales to the 24x7 Service Desk and Operation Teams, ensure a “soft landing” for trading firms entering Asia. These services help traders tackle the challenges of language and cultural barriers, documentation with the exchanges in foreign languages, region/market-specific exchange rules and regulations, and more. Also, KVH is relied upon by financial firms to handle liaison with service providers, brokers, and venue operators, ensuring streamlined communication across all parties and lessening the added workload and burden to their business.
