PM Securities, A Universal Broker, Fully Migrates To Advanced Electronic Trading Platform With Mobile Capabilities
Kuala Lumpur, 8 August 2012 PM Securities Sdn. Bhd. (PM Securities), a Universal Broker, announced today that it has migrated all its dealers and remisiers to an advanced electronic trading platform with full online capabilities and complied with the Direct Market Access (DMA) gateway mandated by Bursa Malaysia (Bursa). The new electronic platform allows PM Securities dealers and remisiers across Malaysia to access pertinent trading information, while their clients can execute trades directly to Bursa or assisted by dealers and remisiers. The DMA migration deadline has been extended from end-March to 31 December 2012. PM Securities successful migration means it is among the earliest Malaysian broking houses to meet the deadline. Beyond mere compliance with the DMA guidelines, PM Securities is also implementing a technology upgrade to allow its dealers and remisiers to execute trades while meeting with clients away from the office through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. PM Securities, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PM Capital Berhad and a member of the MUI Group of companies, has successfully converted its Broker Front End (BFE) system and connected all its ten offices to the latest trading infrastructure developed by homegrown N2N Connect Berhad (N2N Connect) called TraderConnect Pro (TC Pro) for dealers and remisiers and TraderConnect Lite (TC Lite) for clients. Unlike webpage-based platforms, TC Lite enables clients to trade seamlessly without the need for additional plug-ins. It streamlines operations workflow and enhances the level of support services at significantly lower costs. PM Securities current overseas trading facilities for dealers and remisiers will be complemented by N2N Connects applications which provide additional direct access to six international DMA-enabled exchanges.

N2N Connect, a specialist in electronic trading technologies listed on the ACE Market, constantly upgrades its technologies to meet changing needs of customers in the financial markets. PM Securities Executive Director Mr Francis Ang said, We are pleased to have fully migrated to the new platform ahead of the deadline set by Bursa. Going forward, dealing in securities should be a seamless process of instruction, transmission and execution of all orders, at anytime, anywhere and with any device. Technology is the key to meeting the growing needs of clients in an everchanging market environment; speed, convenience and ease of accessibility to information for making an informed decision, he added. N2N Connects Managing Director, Mr Andrew Tiang, said, We are honoured that PM Securities entrusted their trading platform to N2N Connect and fully migrated ahead of schedule. The TC Lite system is truly state-of-the-art as it will facilitate trading of dealers and their clients on a unified platform directly connected to Bursas trading engine, reducing latency. It is faster, more convenient and provides distinctive advantages. END
