Japan Exchange to mine customer data for product development

JPX’s centralised data management platform J-LAKE will scrape information on market participants, listed companies and customers to develop new products.

Through a partnership between JPX Market Innovation & Research (JPXI) and machine learning-driven data hosting and analytics provider Snowflake, insights gathered will be used to create tailored client solutions, the exchange explained. This information will also be accessible to market participants.

Currently, services are developed based on trend analysis, customer interviews and collaborations with existing partner companies. This partnership will allow JPXI to collaborate with new external vendors, startups and platform providers to meet client demands, it said.

The datasets included on the platform will be determined through customer consultations this month, and are expected to be released before the end of March.

Koichiro Miyahara, president and CEO of JPXI, commented: “Our collaboration with Snowflake represents a new channel through which we can offer greater convenience to market participants while expanding the reach of JPXI’s data products to a broader audience.

“We are excited to enter a new partnership that furthers JPX Group’s long-term vision of contributing to sustainable societal and economic development by evolving into a global, comprehensive financial and information platform.”

Hidetoshi Tojo, managing director at Snowflake, added: “By combining JPXI’s J-LAKE platform with Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud, we believe that we can create an environment where more market participants can access JPXI’s rich and varied data offerings with more ease, efficiency, and convenience, thereby expanding the potential for innovative data usage.”

Snowflake is used by a number of exchanges to facilitate data dissemination and analysis, with LSEG making historical data for fixed income securities available in December last year. Large banks including State Street and Citi are also clients.
