High frequency trading beneficial for Malaysian and other markets


KUALA LUMPUR: High frequency trading (HFT) is increasingly playing a larger role in stock exchanges worldwide, but is not a threat to longer-term investors, said Nasdaq OMX Group Inc vice-chairman Sandy Frucher.

“Some people have faster technology, while others may have a slower technology. But the long-term investor does not have to worry about this, and if nothing else, it will move the market up,” Frucher told StarBiz on the sidelines of the Global Sustainability and Impact Investing Forum.
