Broad Recognition for SIX with Multiple Award Wins

These latest awards recognize the work of teams in Switzerland, Spain and the UK, emphasizing not just achievements across its various business units, but also the growing European footprint of SIX. 

The award for ‘Europe’s Best Venue for Client Service’ won by SIX Exchanges, which encompasses SIX Swiss Exchange and BME Exchange, is a testament to its strong client centricity, reflected in innovations geared towards market needs and a strong quality focus.

Within the timeframe considered for the award, the Exchanges of SIX saw 20 successful company listings and record capital raising via bonds, celebrated the 25th anniversary of its ETF segment in Switzerland and further growth of its RFQ platform Quote on Demand (QOD), saw record listing activity in structured products and a strong year in terms of trading turnover across all its segments, while its offering was expanded and improved in the retail space.

This latest win at the Euromoney Markets Awards is the fifth time in the last six years that the exchanges of SIX have been distinguished at some of the industry’s most relevant award ceremonies.

Tomas Kindler, Global Head of Exchanges SIX said: “We are pleased and excited to be recognised as a leading exchange operator in Europe. At SIX we have always put improving client outcomes at the core of what we do. This continues to be our guiding principle as we expand our offering to serve the financial ecosystem across multiple European markets. I’d like to thank our clients for their trust, and all my colleagues who earn it every day.”

In post trade, Iberclear, the Spanish CSD of SIX, outperforms the T2S benchmark, maintaining a settlement efficiency rate near 99% as measured by value. It continues to play a critical role in helping the Spanish market prepare for next year’s move to T+1 settlement.

Francisco Bejar Nuñez, Head of Custody at Securities Services, SIX said: “The team at Iberclear is thrilled to be named Europe’s best CSD. It is an acknowledgement of the important work we’re doing as post-trade undergoes major changes in Europe. We are always ready to support market participants in navigating these changes while also developing innovative new solutions to address an ever-evolving market.”
