CQG continues to build its momentum in Asia-Pacific by entering into a new FCM partnership agreement with Hong Kong-based KGI Futures. This partnership follows several significant additions to CQG’s APAC presence, including the establishment of its Shanghai data center and direct connectivity to the Hong Kong Futures Exchange.
Traders accessing CQG through KGI Futures are able to route orders using CQG Integrated Client and CQG Trader to exchanges worldwide through CQG’s low-latency hosted Direct Market Access solution.

KGI Futures Executive Director Samuel Ho said, “With the addition of CQG trading platforms and Direct Market Access into HKFE, we will provide our clients with connectivity to a comprehensive list of global exchanges and one of the fastest executions into HKFE. This further strengthens our continued effort in expanding into the global futures market and electronic trading services.”
