Founded by Fidelity Investments, KVH has been providing infrastructure solutions to the capital market community since its inception in 1999. Today, Tier-1 sell-side institutions, buy-side participants, technology vendors, international exchanges and multinational insurance firms rely on KVH’s capabilities each day to store, process, protect and deliver their mission-critical business information.
Driven by technological innovation, complex market structures and regulatory reform, the financial markets in Asia are particularly demanding. Global competition, market fragmentation and the need to connect quickly to an increasing number of interdependent exchanges and liquidity pools have increased the cost and complexity of trading. Time-to-market, network performance and connectivity to a wider financial ecosystem across multiple asset classes have become the main challenges for market participants.
