Research by Market Structure Partners (MSP) revealed that European stock exchanges are increasingly turning to market data sales to compensate for adverse market conditions that should have resulted in a downturn in equity market revenues such as declining equity trading volumes, shrinking market share, and a diminishing customer base.

The research shows that this shift has dramatically driven up the cost of equity market data, which is essential for issuers, investors, and market intermediaries to conduct their daily business.

The research, commissioned by a coalition of trade and other industry associations, presents a critical analysis of how the equity market data business and fee structures of Europe’s largest exchanges (Deutsche Börse, Euronext, LSEG, Nasdaq Nordics and SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd) have evolved and how it stifles growth and innovation.

In today's webinar, the research author, Niki Beattie, CEO of MSP, will explain the research and delve into some of the key data, topics and themes brought to light. There will also be the opportunity for live Q&A.
