Matsui Securities Enhances Securities Lending with JASDECPS from Broadridge

Matsui Securities Transforms Securities Lending with Broadridge

In an exciting development for the financial services sector, Matsui Securities Co., Ltd. has announced the implementation of the JASDEC Processing Solution (JASDECPS) made possible through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.'s software as a service (SaaS) platform. This strategic move marks a significant transformation in Matsui's securities lending operations, positioning the firm for enhanced efficiency and growth in Japan's dynamic market.

Embracing Change

Shinichi Uzawa, Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer at Matsui Securities, emphasized the importance of this integration for expanding their presence in the securities lending arena. He stated, "This integration is crucial for expanding our presence in the securities lending market while leveraging operational efficiencies. Our partnership with Broadridge aligns perfectly with our strategic transformation goals, and we are eager to embark on this new chapter."

Automating Processes

The deployment of JASDECPS represents a key step toward automating securities lending processes, substantially reducing reliance on manual interventions. By utilizing the Pre-Settlement Matching System (PSMS), Matsui aims to optimize trade matching and automate securities transfers via the JASDEC framework, including Delivery versus Payment (DVP) settlements. This shift not only streamlines operations but also enhances transaction efficiency through Straight-Through Processing (STP), thereby facilitating more timely transactions.

David Runacres, President of Broadridge’s APAC region, commented on the partnership, noting, "Broadridge is dedicated to supporting Matsui's strategic vision and growth initiatives. Our SaaS solution, integrated with post-trade processing and JASDECPS, provides an optimal framework for companies to excel in Japan's evolving financial landscape. This partnership milestone enhances automation and agility in a unique market."

Rapid Deployment and Reliability

Transitioning to Broadridge's SaaS platform is set to reduce the time Matsui requires to lend out securities significantly, allowing for a quicker response to market demands. This synergy of global standards with local expertise allows Matsui to navigate Japan's complex financial sector effectively, paving the way for long-term business resilience and growth.

A Future-Focused Firm

JASDEC acts as Japan's Central Securities Depository (CSD), overseeing the settlement of equities, corporate bonds, and investment trusts. The upcoming changes to the JASDEC2015 system scheduled to launch in May 2026 further affirm the importance of adapting to evolving market standards. JASDECPS promises to equip firms with comprehensive STP functionality to comply with these changes effectively.
