Global Market Access

Global Markets is the access layer of Volans. A single, institutional-grade connection to the world’s investable opportunity set.

Through one coherent framework, Volans provides access to 27,000+ eligible securities, 25+ currencies, and a full suite of FX and precious metals instruments — enabling portfolios to be deployed, rebalanced, and financed across markets without operational sprawl.

Built with the discipline expected of top-tier private banks and investment houses, the architecture is designed for control as much as reach: defined eligibility, conservative risk parameters, and governance-grade transparency.

One connection. Global breadth. Institutional standards.

Global Markets is built for Sophisticated Investors that want serious global reach

  • Build and trade portfolios across 27,000+ instruments.

    At the core of Global Markets is a broad, institution-grade securities universe:

    • 27,000+ tradeable instruments across major global exchanges and markets

    • Equities, ETFs, funds and listed instruments in developed and selected emerging markets

    • Access to primary exposures, satellite ideas and building blocks for model portfolios

    • Optional alignment with house lists, model portfolios or platform-approved universes

    You control research, advice and portfolio construction.
    We provide the pipes and execution capability to reach the securities your strategy demands.

  • 25+ currencies, one treasury platform.

    Modern wealth is multi-currency by nature. Global Markets treats currency as a first-order decision, not an afterthought.

    We provide:

    • Dealing and settlement in 25+ currencies

    • Multi-currency cash accounts and sub-accounts for different entities, strategies and mandates

    • The ability to match currency of assets and liabilities more precisely

    • Support for base-currency and local-currency portfolio constructions

    That means you can design portfolios and liquidity in the right currency from the start, rather than forcing everything through AUD.

  • Manage currency risk and hard-asset exposure in one fabric.

    Global Markets extends beyond traditional securities:

    • FX trading to manage currency risk, cashflows and rebalancing

    • Support for both tactical and structural FX positioning where appropriate

    • Access to metals and metal-linked balances alongside securities and cash (where eligible)

    • Integration with Asset Services so FX, metals and securities all appear in one reporting framework

    Clients see a single, integrated portfolio – securities, cash, FX and metals – instead of a jumble of disconnected accounts.

  • Institutional-style trading under your brand.

    Global Markets is designed for professional trading workflows, not retail “click and hope” activity.

    We support:

    • Adviser-led execution for managed accounts, model portfolios and discretionary mandates

    • Execution-only options where appropriate for professional users

    • Support for single-stock, basket and model-based trading

    • Functionality to rebalance across accounts, entities and currencies with a single set of rails

    Trading is wired into the same architecture that powers Asset Services (for post-trade processing) and Credit Services (for margin and Lombard monitoring), so the investment process is aligned from order to settlement.

  • The market layer, fully visible and connected.

    Global Markets doesn’t just execute trades – it feeds your investment and oversight processes:

    • Rich transaction and position data available for analytics and reporting

    • Alignment with your portfolio-management tools, CRMs and reporting platforms, where appropriate

    • Look-through views across markets, currencies and entities

    • Data that flows straight into Asset Services reporting and Credit Services risk models

    You can see exactly what is held, where, in which currency, and against which strategy – in a way that is coherent for clients, committees and compliance.
