Zurich-based SIX Securities said the launch of these new markets reflects its ongoing commitment to provide its clients with the tools and capabilities necessary to execute their global strategies.

SIX Securities Services head of global sales & network management Nino Ciganovic said that this further expansion underscores their continuing commitment to the increasing demands of their clients as they internationalize their businesses.

"Our constant challenge is to increase and maintain access to as many markets as our customers need. This – in addition to our launch of eight markets earlier this year – is a natural step further in that direction," added Ciganovic.

Earlier in 2011, SIX Securities Services has opened eight new markets in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Egypt, Israel, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Peru, Cyprus and Colombia.
