SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE--(Marketwire - March 17, 2010) - WBR are delighted to be back in Tokyo for the 4th Annual TradeTech Middle East conference. Taking place 8-9 June, the event has established a reputation for bringing together over 325 international and domestic asset managers, brokers, exchanges and vendors to drive innovation in trading and trading technology in Japan in equities and other asset classes.
