Kyoto Commodity Exchange (KYCX) Professional Trading Platform Develops Reporting Capability For New Otc Commodities Derivative Regulation In Japan

KYCX AlfaTrade™ Professional Trading Platform to provide automated reporting workflow solution

Kyoto (I-Newswire) February 4, 2013 - KYCX is pleased to announce that KYCX AlfaTrade™ Professional Trading Platform has developed an automated data report generator for KYCX AlfaTrade™ Professional Trading Platform users in Japan to meet new regulatory reform requirements.

A Tokyo Cabinet Office Ordinance was recently put into force to reform part of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act with regard to restrictions of OTC commodities derivatives trading. As a part of this reform, all financial institutions are required to store all trade-related information and report this information to Financial Authorities.

Strengthened regulation against financial institutions is a need at this time, and we should make our utmost efforts to enhance efficiency to maintain competitiveness in the market. In order to reduce the work load of reporting with secured accuracy, we judged that the automated procedure was the best solution and requested that KYCX ALFATRADE™ Professional complete this development.

This appeal reflects the global trend to strengthen the regulation on derivative trading, and it is now a requirement for vendor systems to accommodate these demands flexibly and to provide necessary services. KYCX AlfaTrade™ Professional is always ready to serve our customers changing needs, in this case to facilitate changes to regulatory reporting requirements.

KYCX AlfaTrade™ Professional has evolved by listening to client needs and to market trends. Once again, KYCX AlfaTrade™ Professional has addressed our clients' need to automate and enhance trader workflow. We expect this trend to continue globally as regulatory reporting continues to be at the forefront of our customers business requirements“.
