Saxo Bank Wins Best Outsourcing Provider for White Labelling Service in Sell-Side Technology Awards 2015

Hellerup, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire) -

Award Won for the Second Year in a Row Affirms Saxo's Leadership
in White

Labelling Services

For the second year in a row, Saxo has been named Best Outsourcing
Provider in the Sell-side Technology Awards as it becomes the
outsourcing trading technology partner of choice for the sell-side
industry. The awards are designed to recognize leading technology
providers through an auditable methodology and input from eight
judges consisting of sell-side CIOs and consultants and Waters
magazine's senior staff members.

Saxo pioneered FX white labelling in 2001 and since then its
partnerships with sell-side institutions have grown to become a
cornerstone of the Bank's business. There are now 120 active White
Label partners (WLPs) using Saxo's technology, including 10 banks
with cross-border activities and in 2014 alone, 10 new partnerships
were established.

The success of Saxo's platform lies in its commitment to innovate
and its ability to continue to enhance its offering. Two major
innovations were introduced in 2014: Saxo Portfolio Manager and Saxo
Stock Options. Saxo Portfolio Manager is an integrated portfolio
management and trading solution for wealth managers allowing WLPs to
service self-directed, advisory and discretionary clients from one
platform that integrates portfolio management, trading and reporting
technology. This month, stock options were incorporated into Saxo's
WLP offering, following their successful launch to private and direct
institutional clients in 2014.

Saxo offers a truly multi-asset trading platform with more than
30,000 financial products including FX (spot, forwards and options),
stocks, CFDs, commodities, futures, contract options and single stock
options.

Winners of the Sell-side Technology Awards were announced at an
award ceremony this week hosted by Waters Technology. Attending the
awards ceremony in New York and accepting the award on behalf of
Saxo, Jennifer Hansen, Head of Institutional Business, said:

"Pressures on costs coupled with an inability to keep up with the
pace of evolution in trading technology in-house means that banks
have continued to look to Saxo to outsource their trading technology.
They can choose to invest themselves in trading platforms and
technology, and risk their innovations becoming obsolete in a short
period of time, or they can outsource this to firms such as ours for
whom innovation is in the DNA. I think the latter model is on its way
to becoming the norm."
