This will mean Morrison's 38,000+ active clients trading $30 billion annually will only need to go through KYC once and then will be provided unprecedented rapid global trading access.
Morrison will now also offer enhanced global equity and options trading, fixed income, ETFs, seamlessly integrate domestic and global trading, and choice between fully disclosed or omnibus operating models.
ViewTrade has calculated that implementation of solutions like this across all of Australia's global trading could generate efficiencies of nearly $240 million annually.
A business the size of Morisson launching this solution is a watershed moment for enhancing global opportunities for Australia's wealth management sector, according to ViewTrade.

We invite other firms to join us in this partnership and unlock the potential of global market access."
William Slack, CEO of Morrison Securities, said: "We've designed a solution that integrates global market access into our domestic offering for a superior customer experience. With our combined expertise, we're confident in delivering an efficient, scalable solution tailored to the specific needs of our clients."
