Aquis Exchange recommences trading in Swiss shares
Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L), the exchange services group, is
pleased to announce the resumption of trading in Swiss shares on
its pan-European exchange facility, Aquis Exchange.
Following the UK government's agreement on equivalence with
Switzerland, UK-based exchanges now have the ability to offer
trading in Swiss shares. This follows the ban on EU venues from
offering trading in Swiss shares, implemented in July 2019 after
the EU did not renew equivalence with Switzerland.
The shares will be traded on Aquis Exchange's London venue, and
include over 125 key Swiss names including Novartis, Roche and
Nestlé.
Alasdair Haynes, CEO of Aquis Exchange, said:
"We're pleased to once again be able to offer the trading of
Swiss shares to our clients.
Jointly through our London and Paris venues, Aquis Exchange now
covers 15 markets, with our clients continuing to benefit from our
unique subscription pricing model, fast technology and deep
liquidity on the Exchange."

Notes to editors:
Aquis Exchange PLC is an exchange services group, which operates
pan-European cash equities trading businesses (Aquis Exchange),
growth and regulated primary markets (Aquis Stock Exchange/AQSE)
and develops/licenses exchange software to third parties (Aquis
Technologies).
Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial
Conduct Authority and France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers to
operate Multilateral Trading Facility businesses in the UK and in
the EU27 respectively. Aquis operates a lit order book and does not
allow aggressive non-client proprietary trading, which has resulted
in lower market impact and signalling risk on Aquis than other
trading venues in Europe. According to independent studies, trades
on Aquis are less likely to lead to price movement than on other
lit markets. Aquis uses a subscription pricing model which works by
charging users according to the message traffic they generate,
rather than a percentage of the value of each stock that they
trade.
Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE) is a stock market providing primary
and secondary markets for equity and debt products. It is
authorised as a Recognised Investment Exchange, which allows it to
operate a regulated listings venue.
Aquis Technologies is the software and technology division of
Aquis Exchange PLC. It creates and licenses cutting-edge,
cost-effective matching engine and trade surveillance technology
for banks, brokers, investment firms and exchanges.
Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L) is listed on the Alternative
Investment Market of the LSE (AIM) market. For more information,
