Following the launch, clients can execute orders using algorithms in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand.
Kepler said the development marked a significant step forward in its “global execution strategy” in an update on social media.
“KCx has long established its presence in both high-touch and program trading, and to continue driving innovation and disruption, it is essential to offer a full suite of services globally,” Bobbie Port, head of electronic distribution at KCx told The TRADE.
“Today, we are proud to announce that we have achieved this milestone by successfully deploying algorithms in the APAC region.”
Port assumed his role as head of electronic distribution in 2022 after joining Kepler in 2011. He has had an extensive career in electronic trading sales, with his most recent role previously to Kepler focusing specifically on direct market access and algo execution sales at Instinet.
