Horizon Trading Solutions, the electronic trading and algorithmic technology provider, has joined forces with SOLOWIN HOLDINGS, a financial services firm catering to high-net-worth and institutional investors. The partnership integrates Horizon’s algorithmic technology and order management system (OMS) into Solomon JFZ’s trading system, enhancing its capabilities for equities and spot virtual asset ETFs.

Horizon’s Managed & Hosted Services model provides colocation infrastructure and 24/5 support for rapid order execution on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Additional tools like real-time latency monitoring and specialised position management modules optimise trading efficiency for latency-sensitive institutional traders.

As a key participating dealer for virtual asset ETFs managed by China Asset Management and Harvest Global Investments, Solomon JFZ now holds the largest client assets in spot virtual asset ETFs in Hong Kong, the first market globally to support in-kind subscriptions and redemptions for such products.

Thomas Tam, Chief Executive Officer of SOLOWIN, commented: “Horizon is one of the world’s leading providers of electronic trading solutions and algorithmic technology, renowned for its trusted position and proven expertise in designing comprehensive institutional OMS and algo-based solutions. Partnering with such a reliable technology service provider will undoubtedly enhance trading execution, improve efficiency and increase adaptability for our clients, particularly for newly onboarded institutional trading clients.”

Emmanuel Faure, Head of APAC & MENA at Horizon Trading Solutions, added: “We are excited to partner with SOLOWIN to bring advanced OMS and algorithmic solutions to the forefront of virtual asset trading in Asia. This collaboration highlights Horizon’s commitment to innovation and high-performance trading technology, as markets evolve from traditional to digital assets.”
