IPC Systems Expands Asia Pacific Financial Network with Connectivity to the Philippine Stock Exchange

IPC Systems, Inc., a leading provider of trading communications solutions to the world’s top financial services firms and global enterprises, has extended its worldwide financial markets network infrastructure to now include connectivity to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).

IPC has expanded its Pan-Asian Network to now include connectivity to PSE, which is the next step in IPC’s sustained program of network enhancement and connectivity investments across the Asia Pacific region. This positions IPC’s Electronic Connectivity Services (ECS) as an ideal network infrastructure platform for traders who require a secure, rapid solution for their Asia Pacific trading activities. Connecting to PSE will provide IPC’s 4,000 on-net market participants access to this fast growing market.

By offering connectivity to PSE, foreign market players may also benefit from the current 28 percent growth year to date of foreign trading activity in the Philippine stock market by receiving up-to-date PSE market data.
