TOKYO--(Business Wire)--
Tora, the leading technology, trading and liquidity provider for Asia, and
Tradar, a leading supplier of portfolio management and accounting solutions to

"Tora`s clients are among the most prominent and sophisticated traders in Asian
markets," said Tony Swei, CEO of Tradar. "We are delighted to partner with Tora
to enable these clients to record and warehouse trading histories, view live P&L
and performance attribution, track positions and exposures, and automatically
