Tell us about your company.

Velocity Trade is a leading global broker-dealer and capital markets firm that combines multi-asset execution capabilities with bespoke, tech-driven solutions. Founded in 2007, we serve as a trusted partner to an international institutional client base, including External Asset Managers (EAMs), Multi-Family Offices (MFOs), corporations, and institutional asset managers.

Operating under a “follow-the-sun” model through a strategic network of offices across five continents – including major financial hubs like Toronto, London, Sydney, and right here in Singapore – we provide 24-hour direct access to global capital markets. Locally, Velocity Trade Pte. Ltd. holds a Capital Markets Services Licence, issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

What truly sets us apart is our independent, client-focused execution model. In an increasingly automated market, we believe experienced people still make a difference. Our clients have direct access to both electronic platforms, and seasoned dealers who combine market expertise with responsive execution. Backed by institutional-grade liquidity, we are always committed to acting solely in our clients’ best interests.

What role does your company play in the IWM / EAM ecosystem?

In the Independent Wealth Management (IWM) and EAM ecosystem, Velocity Trade acts as a client-first partner that helps wealth managers simplify complexity, optimize pricing, and scale their businesses through technology. We support the ecosystem across three main pillars:

• Open-Architecture Structured Solutions & Financial Engineering: We serve as an independent, cross-asset structured products provider. With privileged access to more than 30 global investment banks, we empower EAMs to design, price, and issue tailor-made investment solutions under highly competitive, transparent pricing. We also provide full lifecycle monitoring and high-touch administrative support to alleviate operational burdens for wealth managers.
• Global Multi-Asset Execution & Deep Liquidity: We offer institutional-grade access to global equities, fixed income, exchange-traded derivatives, physical precious metals, and institutional Foreign Exchange (including Spot, Forwards, NDFs, and FX Options). Wealth managers can tap into deep, tier-1 wholesale liquidity pools to execute complex hedging or investment strategies seamlessly.
• Custody Services & Customized WealthTech Infrastructure: We bridge the gaps between disparate software systems. By developing bespoke API connectivities, white-label platforms, and integrated execution-to-custody tracking, we provide EAMs with a unified view to manage a large volume of underlying client accounts and trades efficiently.

Ultimately, we are here to ensure that Singapore’s independent wealth community has the institutional clout, technological flexibility, and objective market access they need to deliver exceptional outcomes for their clients.
