orders from various sources, including the SunGard Global
Network(http://www.sungard.com/campaigns/fs/globaltrading/360trading/solutions/globalnetwork.aspx ),

automate its trading strategies and quoting capabilities on the
local warrants marketplace.

officer of KT ZMICO Securities, said, "KT ZMICO can electronically
issue its derivatives warrants on the SET and automate its trading
business with SunGard's Valdi suite, thus helping bring more
liquidity to the exchange. This is a major breakthrough for the SET

emerging market. SunGard can help us bring innovation to the Thai
financial industry and assist us in generating more
revenue."

capital markets business, said, "The SET has launched many
initiatives to increase its volumes, including support for local
market makers and facilitating trading by international investors
through the ASEAN Trading Link( http://www.sungard.com/pressreleases/2011/sgnvaldi061411.aspx ).
SunGard's Valdi solutions are helping brokers in frontier and
emerging markets like Thailand bring liquidity to regional
exchanges, facilitate automated trading strategies, reduce
operational risk and support business development."
