Horizon Trading Solutions, a leading global provider of multi-asset electronic trading technology, announces it is set to provide its connectivity solutions to Bursa Malaysia Derivatives’ Securities Futures Trading System (SFTS).
Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is the national derivatives exchange in Malaysia that offers a diverse range of commodity, equity and financial futures and options tradeable globally. As part of its continuous product development efforts to meet evolving investor demand, Bursa Malaysia Derivatives reintroduced its Single Stock Futures (SSF) listed on SFTS in March 2025, offering new leveraged trading opportunities to ASEAN investors.
Horizon will develop a gateway that enables all market makers using Horizon’s trading platform to connect seamlessly to SFTS. This integration allows market makers to quote prices and provide liquidity in SSF directly through Horizon’s infrastructure, helping to support a more vibrant and accessible market.
Emmanuel Faure, Head of APAC & EMEA at Horizon Trading Solutions, commented: “We are proud to support Bursa Malaysia Derivatives in the relaunch of its SSF. As a long-standing partner in the region, Horizon is well-positioned to contribute our technology, market expertise, and network to this initiative. SSF offer compelling opportunities for both retail and institutional players, and we are committed to facilitating their efficient access to this market.”
Mohd Saleem Kader Bakas, Director of Bursa Malaysia Derivatives, added: “We welcome Horizon as a vendor supporting market connectivity for SFTS. This initiative complements the Exchange’s ongoing efforts to improve market liquidity and efficiency, ultimately fostering a vibrant trading environment for all market participants.”
This milestone reflects Horizon’s continued commitment to supporting regional exchanges and enhancing access to emerging markets. It also expands Horizon’s presence in Southeast Asia, by providing the infrastructure needed for market makers to participate efficiently in SSF via a single, integrated platform.
