Since the Shanghai Stock Exchange launched SSE 50 ETF Options in 2015 we have been preparing for this opportunity and researching the right technology platform to help us grow our project effectively. Horizon came out far ahead of the competition because of the strength of its systems, particularly its business coverage, software stability, flexibility, scalability and expert support, all of which are crucial qualities for us meeting our goals quickly and efficiently.”

He adds: “The support provided by Horizon’s team during the implementation process has ensured a smooth transition and we are very happy with the result. I know it has been working hard with us and this effort is both truly appreciated and reflected in its system.”
