AUSIEX has announced the launch of a new international share trading function, enabling advisers to trade in 18 overseas markets, including the US, UK, Hong Kong and Canada, and across a range of asset classes.

AUSIEX, a wholesale financial markets trading utility with nearly half a million direct customers, said the new facility will offer an all-in-one solution combining trading toolkits (including watchlists, screeners, alerts and charting tools), online corporate actions management, integrated research, and an extensive reporting suite.

The new trading utility will support trades across multiple asset classes, including equities, ETFs and managed ETFs, as well as listed fixed income otherwise unavailable in Australia.

Additionally, up to 10 currencies can be traded on the utility through multi-currency wallets.

The offering complements AUSIEX’s existing Australian Shares trading platform, providing a single solution for advisers to trade both domestic and international equities online.

AUSIEX’s popular domestic trading platform is used by more than 4,400 advisers from over 1,000 dealer groups across Australia to invest in equities, ETOs, ETFs, warrants, hybrids and IPOs.

AUSIEX said the new international trading facility was launched to meet rising demand for direct international exposures.

“More and more Australian advisers and their clients are interested in investing in global assets and this offering makes it easier for financial advisers to directly trade international equities, ETFs and global funds across multiple markets in multiple currencies,” said AUSIEX’s head of product, CX and marketing, Brett Grant.

He added: “Financial advisers, stockbrokers and their investor clients can also better monitor those assets through a range of real-time information and reporting tools on a sophisticated and intuitive platform.”

AUSIEX said it plans to continue delivering enhancements to the trading facility, including additional market coverage and improved integration with its existing Australian share trading platform.

Owned by Japan-based financial technology and operations services giant NRI, AUSIEX supports equities execution, clearing and settlement services, and equities administration.
