Our Business Portfolio
The integral structures of SIX are one of the strategic drivers of success: Innovative and value adding solutions are developed particularly when the business units connect and collaborate. Our business model is broader than most of our competitors. We have two strong home markets with Switzerland and Spain and can count on the support of our shareholder (user-owned/user-governed).
In order to further enhance the agility needed to capture market opportunities in the Financial market infrastructure area, SIX decided to consolidate its exchange-related businesses in a new “SIX Exchange Group” entity. This structural change will give the exchange-related businesses (Exchanges, Securities Services, Financial Information) more flexibility to enhance customer focus and boost global growth.
