Charles River has also achieved seamless integration across a number of domestic Japanese platforms and third-party providers through its stringent testing and certification process including platforms for:

In addition, Charles River helps clients adopt FIX for electronic trading with global brokers and specialized venues, by incorporating real-time electronic trading via FIX for equities, futures/options, fixed income, foreign exchange & repos through its private and secure Charles River Network.

Local Commitment

To meet local demand, Charles River is committed to providing Japanese clients with implementation and support activities delivered by multi-lingual Japanese nationals. 

Our dedication to the Japanese market is also reflected in our support of and programs for Japanese clients.   In 2007, Charles River launched the Japan User Group; this forum allows Japanese clients to provide feedback and direction into how Charles River’s products and services are developed.  This executive forum is the first of its kind by a global investment management system provider in Japan and continues to meet approximately every quarter.
