Virtu Financial announced that Nissay Asset Management Corporation, a Tokyo‑based asset‑management subsidiary, has selected Virtu’s Triton execution‑management system to centralize and streamline its global trading operations. The go‑live for Nissay’s domestic Japanese flow began in September 2026, with the transition of its ex‑Japan desks scheduled for later in 2026.
Triton’s multi‑asset, multi‑venue architecture supports equities, ETFs, futures, options, FX, and fixed income across more than 700 brokers and venues. Nissay chose the platform because Virtu can deliver bespoke algorithmic logic and transaction‑cost analysis tailored to the client’s internal requirements, a key differentiator in the highly competitive Japanese market.
The win validates Triton’s capabilities and expands Virtu’s footprint in Asia, reinforcing its strategy to grow execution‑services revenue through institutional deployments. Virtu’s recent earnings demonstrate the momentum behind this strategy: Q1 2025 revenue rose 30.3% YoY to $837.9 million, and Q4 2025 revenue increased 16.3% YoY to $969.9 million, both driven by higher trading volumes and opportunities across its market‑making and execution‑services segments.
Phil Chevalier, Co‑Head of Virtu Execution Services APAC, said the selection “validates our strategy of delivering integrated, best‑in‑class technology solutions with the flexibility to adapt to each client’s unique workflow requirements. We’re particularly proud that our growing reputation among Japanese asset managers and our commitment to bespoke solutions resonated strongly throughout their selection process.”
The announcement was well received by investors, adding to a series of positive market reactions following Virtu’s recent earnings beats. The deal underscores Virtu’s continued expansion in Asia, its ability to secure major clients in key international markets, and its focus on scaling the Triton platform across new geographies.
