UBS Launches Direct Market Access in India

UBS has launched Direct Market Access on the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange.

UBS India DMA, as with all UBS DMA systems, is a zero touch anonymous trading platform that allows clients to execute orders entirely electronically so increasing speed of execution.

The Swiss bank says that with a combined daily turnover of $4.3 billion, the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange are the sixth and eigth largest exchanges in Asia including Japan respectively, and are becoming increasingly important to global investors’ share stock portfolios.
