<p><strong>Wayne, PA &#8211; November 29, 2010 -</strong> Continuing to build synergies between its data management solutions and financial applications, SunGard has completed integration between its MarketMap global market data solution and its WealthStation wealth management and Valdi trading solutions. This integration gives SunGard’s WealthStation and Valdi customers the ability to navigate MarketMap market data content seamlessly from within their respective applications. In addition, these bundled solutions – provided as MarketMap for Advisors and MarketMap for Traders – offer the capability to be customized to meet specific end-user data requirements.</p>
<p>Financial institutions are seeking more integrated, single-vendor solutions to help increase efficiencies and reduce costs. By combining MarketMap with either WealthStation or Valdi, SunGard is able to meet the need for continuous data in one integrated solution. Both MarketMap for Advisors and MarketMap for Traders come with a set of pre-configured, best practice, integrated processes that can be used out of the box or enhanced based on customer requirements. For example, MarketMap for Advisors gives advisors using WealthStation the ability to perform research on stocks in MarketMap and directly access client portfolios that include the stocks, or trade the stock via WealthStation’s trading component. MarketMap for Traders provides Valdi users with access to charting and technical studies, fundamental data, order books, low-latency data and news directly from within Valdi’s trading solution.</p>
<p>Isabella Fonseca, research director at Celent, said in a 2010 research report on Market Data Needs for the Wealth Management Industry, “Market data providers are addressing the need of wealth managers by redesigning their products to provide one source of information—all in one place. Market data is a key tool for firms to increase efficiency, make secure investment decisions, comply with regulations, use in long-term wealth planning and account management, develop new business leads or generate ideas, and facilitate customer communication.”</p>
<p>Fritz McCormick, senior analyst at Aite Group, said, “The trade lifecycle depends upon the high quality data delivered to a variety of applications and users that need it to service clients, analyze trading opportunities, respond quickly to opportunities and to stay compliant. Solutions that integrate market data onto a single platform help users to improve productivity, decision making and service while helping firms to better automate workflow and reduce the amount of resources required.”</p>
<p>In addition, SunGard provides open interfaces to give firms the ability to integrate MarketMap with in-house customer applications. MarketMap offers a lightweight, technology-efficient infrastructure as well as simplified and efficient system upgrades and maintenance.</p>
<p>Robert Jeanbart, global head of market data and information services for SunGard’s global trading business, said, “Traders and financial advisors need to be able to access information on particular financial instruments to meet their research needs, improve price discovery and enhance client service. MarketMap’s integration with Valdi and WealthStation provides customers with seamless access to market data alongside execution capability, offering a best-practice approach to more efficient processes and data delivery, helping to make their day-to-day jobs easier and more productive.”</p>

<p><strong>Singapore, 25th November 2010</strong> – SunGard has opened a new SunGard Global Network (SGN) hub in Jakarta, Indonesia. SGN is a low-latency information and order routing network that links more than 2,000 asset managers and 500 brokers on 110 markets worldwide. The hub, which is SunGard’s ninth in the Asia Pacific region, will provide international investors with access to the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), the exchange for Indonesian equity and derivatives. Local financial institutions will also be able to gain access to SunGard’s SGN community of brokers, and will be able to take advantage of global direct market access execution services.</p>
<p>As one of the largest exchanges in Asia, IDX is continuously developing, with 500 listed companies and increasing market capitalization. By opening the SGN hub, SunGard will help international investors send IDX market orders cost-effectively to Indonesian brokers.</p>
<p>Adikin Basirun, director of IT and risk management at IDX, said, “Indonesia is set to be one of the global economic powerhouses of the next ten years. We view SunGard’s investment in its Jakarta SGN hub as recognition of the increasing strength of Indonesian capital markets and the potential of these to become international financial centers. SGN will help IDX offer its members new business from international investors and attract new market participants and investments to the exchange.”</p>
<p>Wiwit Gusnawan, director of finance and operations at Bahana Securities, said, “SunGard’s new SGN hub will help facilitate direct market access to the local marketplaces. Joining the SGN community will help us establish gateways to provide direct market access to the IDX to Indonesian brokers and international customers &#8211; of both Bahana Securities and SunGard.”</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard&#8217;s global trading business, commented: “The launch of this new hub helps SunGard address the increasing demand from our Asia-Pacific customers for greater direct market connectivity in the region. It is a further demonstration of SunGard’s strategy to expand the SunGard Global Network, helping to support the growth of electronic trading and helping customers find new investment opportunities.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.gltrade.com/etc/files/2010/10/GT_ChinaIndexFutures_20101021_FINAL.pdf">PDF </a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Hong Kong – 21st October 2010</strong> – SunGard is offering a direct market access (DMA) solution to help global Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFIIs) trade Chinese stock-index futures. QFIIs will be able to send orders in FIX Protocol via the SunGard Global Network (SGN) to Chinese futures brokers and use a CFFEX (China Financial Futures Exchange) version of SunGard’s GL Win trading solution.</p>
<p>Trading of Chinese stock-index futures contracts on China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) debuted in April. Although the Chinese financial authority currently limits trading access to local players, QFIIs may be able to participate in the near future. SunGard is able to test electronic DMA access solutions with QFIIs to help them prepare for investing if and when authorization is granted. Chinese futures brokers will be able to receive FIX orders from QFIIs via SunGard’s Global Network. The network links 2,000 asset managers and 110 markets worldwide. It also provides order routing for equities, fixed income and listed derivatives and assists in automating the entire trade lifecycle.</p>
<p>Paul Rowady, senior analyst at TABB Group and author of a recent report on trading in Asian derivatives, commented: &#8220;China is both one of the biggest markets – across most asset classes &#8211; as well as one of the most difficult to access from outside the country. The West is anxious for any open channel through which this market can be accessed. In general, the QFII designation and, in specific, the CSI 300 Index Futures, represent the most near-term channels to provide such eagerly awaited access.”</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard&#8217;s global trading business, said, &#8220;Whenever Chinese authorities open access to local marketplaces, there is tremendous interest from the global financial community. Even if stringent requirements must be met before firms can trade China&#8217;s index futures, requests for access will undoubtedly increase. SunGard helps international investors to access and trade on new electronic marketplaces, offering early testing capability to QFIIs interested in trading China&#8217;s index futures.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>London &#8211; 23rd September 2010 -</strong> Grupo Financiero BBVA Bancomer (BBVA Bancomer), a leading Mexican financial firm and part of the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) group, has gone live with a suite of SunGard solutions including SunGard&#8217;s GL Win trading workstations, GL Stream Order Management System (OMS) and market access gateways to access both Mexican equities and derivatives marketplaces. BBVA Bancomer is the first SunGard customer in Mexico to trade on the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, BMV) and Mexican Derivatives Exchange (MexDer) markets from the same workstation. BBVA can now offer this capability to all its clients through its connection to the SunGard Global Network (SGN).</p>
<p>The BBVA Group, one of the largest banking organizations in the world, already connects to markets in Europe and Asia using SGN, a low-latency information and order routing network that links more than 2,000 buy-side firms and 500 brokers on 110 markets. SGN can support BBVA to extend its global strategy by providing the group’s clients with access to new investment opportunities in Mexico.</p>
<p>In addition, SunGard&#8217;s gateways give BBVA Bancomer access to the new trading engines used by the two exchanges &#8211; BMV&#8217;s new RINO™ and MexDer’s new MEXFIX™ engines respectively. Finally, SunGard’s GL Stream OMS and multi-asset GL Win workstations help the bank handle multiple client order flows and create new, complex trading strategies.</p>
<p>José Acebes, global equities executive director for wholesale banking and asset management at BBVA, said, &#8220;SunGard&#8217;s solutions helped us to manage order flow from other BBVA offices more efficiently, while offering advanced trading services on the Mexican cash and derivatives exchanges. Our membership in the SGN community is supporting our local connectivity across the world, and is aiding our growing business in Mexico.”</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard&#8217;s global trading business, said, &#8220;Mexican markets are among the most sophisticated in Latin America. Thanks to recent regulatory and technological changes, these markets are due to attract new investors and high-frequency trading firms. SunGard’s strategy to open local offices and launch new SGN hubs in the region, while developing access to new markets such as Chile, Colombia and Peru, helps support customers such as BBVA in their global strategies.&#8221;</p>
