In recent years we have seen an increase in the number of day traders and short-term traders focusing on the multi-faceted field of technical analysis. While there are many different methods, in basic terms, technical trading is an analysis methodology used to forecast the future movement of stock prices. This investment strategy depends on low latency execution only trading facilities, prompt clearing services and swift settlement.
There is a general misconception that technological developments have ultimately disrupted/broken the historic client-broker relationship. We believe otherwise, adapting to global investment strategies is important but we never lose sight of individual client needs.
As a broker offering global clearing services, safe custody, trade execution and around-the-clock assistance, it is very easy to lose sight of the old-fashioned broker-client relationship. In order to get the best out of this relationship, there needs to be a high degree of trust, transparency and confidence. Here at Global Investment Strategy Hong Kong, we appreciate every client is different, with varied goals and aspirations. So, what makes us stand out from our competitors?
There are many different elements to the clearing system, one of which is known as back-to-back clearing. As an international broker, GIS HK Ltd deals in many different markets some of which have a specialist element. Consequently, rather than dealing with their prime broker, some clients will deal through third parties with the securities then delivered to their prime broker. Confused?
Custody and clearing services are a vital part of the trading process, even if they tend to go unnoticed by investors. Our parent company GIS UK Ltd has been involved in more than 250,000 transactions over the last three years, with a combined value of £50 billion. We have a robust clearing and custody service, but how does this fit into the overall trading process?
There are many aspects to consider when looking at trade execution-only services. First, of course, there is the quality of service, charges and the scope for trading different markets, but you also need to consider low latency execution. While latency itself is a complex subject, the concept is relatively straightforward.
Amidst the ongoing turmoil in the Ukraine, the Chinese government has offered to assist in finding a diplomatic solution and negotiating a ceasefire. While this offer has yet to be taken-up, there are high hopes that the Chinese authorities will eventually be able to bring all parties to the negotiating table. Despite the uncertainty, this has not stopped investors gambling on a potential short to medium-term boost in trade between Beijing and Moscow.
As a company based in Hong Kong, offering investment services, we are authorised and regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). This is not to be confused with UK regulator the FCA or its US counterpart, the SEC. So how does the SFC work?
Global investment services is a term regularly used for an array of different investment services, including clearing services, safe custody, trade execution and market coverage. Each of these services is an integral part of the investment jigsaw, providing a seamless trade to settlement process and everything in between. Here at Global Investment Strategy Hong Kong Ltd, we use cutting-edge technology to provide the complete package to our clients.
The execution-only trading services of 20 years ago are a distant memory, overtaken by innovative technological-based trade execution. We can’t offer advice or guidance as an execution-only broker, but we offer fast low latencyexecution-only trading services. In addition, our local knowledge and understanding of the latest trading technology ensure that we lead the way while others follow.
