SIX Financial Information, part of European stock exchange operator SIX Exchange Group AG, has joined the Scottish Financial Enterprise (SFE) membership.

Switzerland-based SIX operates exchanges across the main Spanish and Swiss financial centres and recently agreed to buy Aquis Exchange Plc, London’s challenger stock market.

SIX recently announced big changes in its leadership, with Bjørn Sibbern appointed CEO from January 1, 2025, succeeding Jos Dijsselhof, who stepped down “to pursue a new professional opportunity” in the Middle East.

SFE said: “As a leading global financial data provider, SIX offers top-tier reference, pricing, and corporate actions data on multi asset classes, as well as regulatory and compliance services.

“With a team of 4,160 employees in 19 countries, SIX is dedicated to excellence in financial markets infrastructure.

“Through becoming an SFE member, we’re encouraged that SIX have shown their support to Scotland’s financial services industry and look forward to working with the firm in the near future.”

SIX Exchange Group AG is owned by its users — more than 120 banks — and has a presence in 19 countries.

SIX Financial Information describes its business thus: “SIX Financial Information provides professionals with global regulatory expertise and the richest reference data universe.

“Our mission is to support our clients as they grow, while providing them with robust data for day-to-day operations as well as regulatory compliance.

“We collect and aggregate data from all major trading venues to deliver an unrivalled breadth and depth of content.

“With offices around the world and a strong partner network, we are truly a global provider of top-quality reference data and added value services to the wealth and asset management industry.”
