Fujitsu to develop ETF trading platform based on TSE's CONNEQTOR and provide it to Australian Securities Exchange
TOKYO, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE), and Fujitsu Limited on June 2, 2025 signed MOU to develop a SaaS-based Request for Quote (RFQ) platform. Fujitsu will develop the platform based on "CONNEQTOR," an RFQ platform for the ETF market developed by TSE and Fujitsu, and provide it to ASX. The initiative aims to modernize the process for ETF pricing in Australia by implementing a SaaS RFQ platform, built and managed by Fujitsu. The foundation of this new platform is the CONNEQTOR system provided by TSE, one of Asia's most successful RFQ platforms. Since its launch in February 2021, CONNEQTOR has enabled over 290 users to significantly reduce costs and improve the efficiency of their ETF trading operations. Monthly trading value reached a record high of JPY 306.4 billion in April 2025. Fujitsu will serve as the service provider for the Fujitsu RFQ platform, responsible for service development, provision, and utilization support. TSE, as the licensor and operator of the CONNEQTOR system, will provide support for the platform's implementation. Andrew Walton, General Manager, Trading, ASX comments: "ASX is excited to partner with Fujitsu and TSE to explore the opportunities the Fujitsu RFQ platform can deliver for the Australian market. With the ability to increase liquidity and price discovery, ASX sees the potential to support the development of this market segment and its participants. We will be engaging extensively with the Australian industry to gather feedback to assess the feasibility of launching this platform in the first half of 2026." Satoshi Takura, Senior Executive Officer, TSE (Senior Executive Officer & CIO, Japan Exchange Group) comments: "It is great to join forces on the feasibility of a service based on TSE's CONNEQTOR. By providing international and diverse market functions, we hope to contribute to the development of the global ETF market from a technological perspective." "Fujitsu is excited to explore this opportunity to provide the Fujitsu RFQ platform for the Australian Securities Exchange. Leveraging our deep experience in building and maintaining financial infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, we're confident that our strong partnership with the Tokyo Stock Exchange will unlock even greater value for the ASX and its global customers."
