As covered last year, the Switzerland Stock Exchange (SIX) has successfully completed the acquisition of Clearstream’s 50% stake “in REGIS-TR, which has now become a 100% owned SIX company.”
REGIS-TR, consisting of REGIS-TR S.A. and REGIS-TR UK Ltd, has a portfolio of more than 2,000 European customers across over 40 different countries.
As mentioned in the update, REGIS-TR is a European trade repository “for reporting trades and transactions across multiple product classes and jurisdictions, open to financial and non-financial institutions.”
The joint venture between BME’s Iberclear and Deutsche Börse’s Clearstream was “founded in 2010 and has successfully grown into a leading European trade repository with more than 700 million trade messages processed monthly.”
As a response to Brexit, REGIS-TR UK was “incorporated in 2019, so that REGIS-TR could maintain a continuous reporting service for the UK client base.”
