Auckland based EVI Global Markets launches Global Trading Desk

When it comes to trading international shares on overseas markets in real time, local firms were struggling to find a solid solution. Management of EVi Global Markets said that when they moved their business to Auckland they wanted to work with local trading Banks to move their international clients here but there was nothing to very little available in terms of market connectivity, clearing & settlement of international shares or custodial services. Everything seemed to be focused on trading local markets. 

Management has confirmed that there is increased interest from overseas investment banking executives to utilise EVi to provide overseas investors access to NZX Listed Companies whilst maintaining a value chain within their exit strategy.

What makes EVi relevant is that clients have the ability to trade in more than 100 international market as well as to access global liquidity from more than two thousand institutions and six hundred broker dealers. EVi's ability to provide access to buy- and sell-side order flow helps clients achieve their best execution objectives whether trading in their home markets or across borders.

EVi created an ideal solution for Institutional and wholesale clients. Management said that their international clients look at EVi more as a strategic partner than an execution broker. EVi Global Markets provides Broker Dealer and Adviser Accounts solutions to other local firms.

EVi makes available infrastructure especially for market participants that are looking to offer their clients a great trading environment. Such services provided are mainly targeted at professional trading groups, stock broking firms, investment funds and other market professionals. 

Management states that there is nothing they couldn't deliver when it comes to trading global markets, clearing, settlement, order routing and connectivity to liquidity.  Additionally, a full service  suit of account management functions, order management, comprehensive compliance support, advanced client risk management and performance analysis are only some of the tools integrated into the account structure. In short, a full service solution.
