iFAST Financial (HK) Limited wins at Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2026

The company transformed fixed-income trading and wealth management workflows with API-driven tools.

iFAST Financial (HK) Limited won API - Financial Technology and Wealthtech - Financial Services in the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2026. The firm earned double recognition for its Bondsupermart Live solution and its next-generation wealth technology ecosystem, both of which modernised core financial operations across Hong Kong.

Enabling real-time bond trading

Bondsupermart Live solved a long-standing market friction in fixed-income trading. Traditional bond execution historically relied on manual dealer-quote cycles that caused time delays and opaque pricing. To address this issue, iFAST Financial (HK) Limited introduced an API-first market-maker model that exposes live, firm pricing at the exact point of decision. The platform allows instant order execution against a firm liquidity pool, replacing slow Request-for-Quote processes with automated order routing and post-trade updates.

To complement this execution model, Bondsupermart Live uses a curated selection strategy to reduce adoption barriers whilst maintaining clarity. The offering includes US Treasuries and global corporate bonds with low investment thresholds. The initiative provides clients with a real-time bond trading experience, resulting in a significant increase in fixed-income trading activity and improved customer satisfaction.

Streamlining the investment lifecycle

Alongside its trading solution, the company transformed local advisory capabilities through its integrated wealth technology ecosystem. Traditional portfolio maintenance previously required repetitive trade calculations and fragmented operational steps that limited advisor capacity. The updated system streamlined the full investment lifecycle from onboarding to execution.

Key features include advanced model portfolio capabilities that allow financial advisors to apply allocations across multi-client bases simultaneously. With single-click order generation, the engine calculates required rebalance trades instantly, reducing portfolio maintenance time from hours to minutes. Standardised execution logic further eliminated human error during trade preparation, enabling institutions to scale client volumes efficiently.
