Your Exchange of Choice Overview of JPX Who We Are Your Exchange of Choice Overview of JPX Who we are... Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (JPX) was formed through the merger between Tokyo Stock Exchange Group and Osaka Securities Exchange in January 2013. In 1878, soon after the Meiji Restoration, Eiichi Shibusawa, who is known as the father of capitalism in Japan, established Tokyo Stock Exchange. That same year, Tomoatsu Godai, a businessman who was instrumental in the economic development of Osaka, established Osaka Stock Exchange. This year marks the 140th anniversary of their founding. JPX has inherited the will of both Eiichi Shibusawa and Tomoatsu Godai as the pioneers of capitalism in modern Japan and is determined to contribute to drive sustainable growth of the Japanese economy.

Lo, editor Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-48847-0 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/lo__96-1 Conference Date: January 19-22, 1994 Publication Date: January 1996 Chapter Title: Market Structure and Liquidity on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Chapter Author: Bruce N.

Lehmann and David M. Modest Common sense and conventional economic reasoning suggest that liquid sec- ondary markets facilitate lower-cost capital formation than would otherwise occur. Broad common sense does not, however, provide a reliable guide to the specific market mechanisms-the nitty-gritty details of market microstruc- ture-that would produce the most desirable economic outcomes. The demand for and supply of liquidity devolves from the willingness, in- deed the demand, of public investors to trade. However, their demands are seldom coordinated except by particular trading mechanisms, causing transient fluctuations in the demand for liquidity services and resulting in the fragmenta- tion of order flow over time. In most organized secondary markets, designated market makers like dealers and specialists serve as intermediaries between buyers and sellers who provide liquidity over short time intervals as part of their provision of intermediation services. Liquidity may ultimately be pro- vided by the willingness of investors to trade with one another, but designated market makers typically bridge temporal gaps in investor demands in most markets.'

BEBR FACULTY WORKING PAPER NO. 89-1573 College of Commerce and Business Administration University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign May 1989 Price and Volume in the Tokyo Stock Exchange An Exploratory Study Y. K. Tse, Visiting Scholar Department of Economics This paper was written when I was visiting the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. I thank Josef Lakonishok for stimulation and inspiration Abstract: In this paper, we consider the unconditional distributions of market return and trading volume in the Tokyo Stock Exchange. We also examine the relationship between price changes and trading volumes. The problems considered are directed by findings in the U.S. market, with a view to ascertain similarities and differences. Daily market returns exhibit intra-week periodicity. Returns over daily, weekly and monthly intervals are negativelv skewed and leptokurtLc. While daily returns are slightly positively autocorre- lated, the autocorrelations for weekly and monthly returns are statistically insignificant. There is evidence against the stable Paretian hypothesis for market returns; and the empirical results are in support of market returns following a low order mixture of normal distribution. Trading volume is highly positively autocorrelated. This suggests that trading volume is not a good proxy for information.

  • B3 Transfers Equities to Its Multi-Asset Clearing Platform
    Press release 29 August 2017 B3 transfers equities to its multi-asset clearing platform Cinnober’s real-time clearing solution now handles post trading process for both the equities and the derivatives markets in Brazil • BRL 21 billion of collateral returned to the market (approx. USD 6,4 billion) • Phase two completed of major Post-Trade Integration Project going from two clearinghouses to one for equities and derivatives • More efficient risk management by analyzing the risk on entire portfolios B3 (the Brazilian exchange and clearinghouse) successfully launched on Monday the equities, corporate bonds, and equities lending markets on its new multi-asset clearing platform. The clearing solution is delivered by Cinnober, built on its TRADExpress RealTime Clearing system. The migration of the equities clearinghouse was the target for phase two of B3’s Post-Trade Integration Project that will consolidate B3’s originally four clearinghouses into one integrated entity (managing equities, derivatives, government and corporate debt securities and FX). Derivatives and OTC products were the first to launch on the new platform in phase one. With the new integrated clearinghouse, B3 manages risk more efficiently. By analyzing the risk on entire portfolios, the clearinghouse can compensate if an investor has opposite positions in the same underlying asset across product groups and markets. When financial and commodity derivatives, along with OTC products, migrated to the new clearinghouse in phase one, the total systemic benefit in terms of margin release amounted to around BRL 20 billion. The estimated effect from Monday’s launch of phase two is BRL 21 billion of collateral that was returned to the market with complete preservation of the clearinghouse’s safety system.

  • Securities Market Structure and Regulation
    INTRODUCTION In beginning this symposium on the structure and regulation of the securities markets, I’m sure we will all keep in mind George Santayana’s caution that: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”1 Although enormous changes have taken place over the past few decades, we keep hearing echoes of the past. When the London Stock Exchange (LSE) switched from floor-based to electronic trading exactly twenty years ago, it decided that the transformation might be too traumatic for its members, so it adopted a hybrid market—an electronic market combined with traditional floor trading. The hybrid market lasted just over four months, at which time the LSE closed its floor for trading in equities. Will the New York Stock Exchange’s experience with its new hybrid market be the same or different? The Consolidated Limited Order Book (CLOB), which I expect will be discussed today, was first proposed to the SEC thirty years ago by Professor Peake, one of today’s speakers, in 1976, a year after Congress told the SEC to create a national market system. The CLOB, which would execute investors’ orders electronically under a rule of time and price priority, seemed to him the best way to assure best execution of investors’ orders throughout the national market system. In 1978, the SEC told the exchanges to create a CLOB. A year later the Commission had second thoughts: it feared that a CLOB would lead to the elimination of exchange trading floors by inexorably forcing all trading into a fully automated trading system.

  • Japan Exchange Group Live with Cinnober's Clearing and Risk
    Press release 15 February 2018 Japan Exchange Group live with Cinnober’s Clearing and Risk solutions Cinnober’s real-time clearing and CCP risk solutions live at the Japan Exchange Group’s derivatives market On February 13, Japan Exchange Group (JPX) successfully launched its new clearing system for exchange traded derivatives, based on Cinnober’s TRADExpress RealTime Clearing, and a CCP Risk solution. The JPX ETD derivatives market is operated by the Osaka Exchange (OSE) and cleared by the Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), both part of JPX. With the new technology, JPX is modernizing its post-trade and clearing infrastructure in a move to strengthen its position as an internationally renowned clearinghouse. “By launching these new risk and next generation clearing systems we have created a cutting- edge post-trade infrastructure,” said Ryusuke Yokoyama, Senior Executive Officer & CIO. “We’re happy to offer improved services to our clearing members and clients, and easier access through standard protocols. We look forward to the next step in the near future in which we will continue the rollout of the CCP Risk solution to the rest of our clearing products.” JPX’s new clearing system is a state of the art solution offering more sophisticated risk-, account- and position management functions, global standard interfaces and a modern graphical user interface. With the solution, JPX is able to calculate members’ and clients’ risk for ETD in real time. New account types are introduced for individual clients. The new clearing system provides a more transparent omnibus account model, allowing members to report and see client accounts and margin requirement individually.
