SunGard said its Valdi is used in Japan and overseas for the unified trading of futures and options, both in enterprise software installations and as Valdi Market Access managed solutions.

The unified Tdex+ platform helps TSE member firms and their clients trade strategies that involve both futures and options efficiently.

SunGard’s Valdi facilitates the creation and trading of multi-instrument strategies, and also supports the associated cross-asset risk management.

SunGard managing director of global trading business in Asia Pacific Nasser Khodri said that as Japan’s futures and options trading volumes grow, SunGard is working with customers in Japan and elsewhere to help them seize the opportunities created by the unified TSE derivatives trading platform.

"They look forward to assisting market participants in further optimizing the efficiency of their trading operations for the Tokyo markets," added Khodri.
