Swiss Bourse Turns to Smaller UK Exchange for Trade Tech Revamp
SIX Group AG, the operator of the Swiss and Spanish bourses, is weighing a switch to the trading technology of Aquis Exchange Plc, a smaller UK exchange it is in the process of acquiring.
The group has been studying whether Aquis's matching engine — the software component that pairs orders and processes transactions — can support trading in Swiss and Spanish stocks before the acquisition is expected to close this quarter, SIX Chief Executive Officer Bjørn Sibbern, said in an interview.
