Otkritie Securities Limited (OSL), the UK-based subsidiary of OTKRITIE Financial Corporation (OFC), one of the largest financial services providers in Russia has partnered with Marco Polo Capital Markets (MPCM) to provide investors with an interface to an extensive family of local emerging market and global brokers, as well as the institutional investor community.
The partnership with MPCM, a broker neutral multi-asset class electronic platform, allows global investors to trade in emerging and frontier markets and allows investors to trade in new markets.
In turn, investors in these emerging markets can now tap directly into equities and derivatives quoted on the two incumbent Russian exchanges, the RTS and MICEX, as well as for Russian depositary receipts listed on the London Stock Exchange, EDX London and Deutsche Brse.
Otkrities clients will also be able to buy and sell single-stock futures or hedge their investments with RTS index and currency futures on FORTS in Russia.
Joining the MPCM network gives Otkritie access to a global platform reaching over 90 capital markets on which it can distribute its powerful execution capabilities in the broadest array of Russian securities, says Nils Jahn, Managing Director of Global Electronic Trading, at Otkritie. Our research strengths in Russian corporates support the needs of a fast growing community of institutional investors and traders that play Russias equity markets.
