Equiduct unveils new brand identity admin Tue, 06/01/2021 - 09:14

News Article

Institutional offering SpotVBBO renamed to Zenith

London, 01 June 2021: Equiduct, the pan-European exchange, has today unveiled a new brand identity, reflecting its focus on pioneering change and driving real progress in the retail trading industry – to deliver value to its partners, clients and end-investors.

Equiduct was born as a solution to a problem and to lead positive change in the retail trading industry. It was founded to help retail brokers overcome the challenges of the fragmentation created by the introduction of MiFID. Equiduct has continued to develop its purpose-built solutions since, continually innovating to enhance the market ecosystem for retail and institutional investors.

Equiduct’s new brand identity, including an all-new fresh visual proposition and logo, launches today, supported by a brand campaign to reinforce its new positioning. It includes a new strapline to reflect Equiduct’s focus on leading positive change: “The trading venue of tomorrow, today”. A pan-European social media campaign will also go live on LinkedIn.

As part of the brand project, the company has launched a new website with the new visual identity. Equiduct’s social channels, content and collateral have also been refreshed into the new look and feel.

Alongside the rebrand, Equiduct has separately undertaken a renaming exercise for its Best Execution service for institutional investors. Previously named SpotVBBO, it will now be called Zenith, bringing it in line with the naming convention of Equiduct’s retail client product, Apex.

Laura Serafini, Head of Marketing at Equiduct said: “Our new brand identity better reflects our innovative, client-centric approach, and the passion of our people. As a business, we have always striven to challenge the status quo to create a better market environment for retail brokers and investors. Equiduct provides a simple and cost-effective way for brokers to offer their clients access to Europe-wide liquidity through a single exchange. Our new brand identity echoes this focus on simplicity and uniqueness, and we’re excited to be launching our new brand today and continue to drive growth for our company.”

Moreish, the specialist financial services marketing agency, worked with Equiduct on the rebrand. The project was led by Simon Martin, Managing Director at Moreish, who said “One of our first steps of a rebrand process is to interview people at all levels within the business. What was apparent from day 1 of this process was everyone's passion and belief in what they're doing at Equiduct. The new brand and refreshed proposition is an authentic reflection of a truly innovative solution to a very clear purpose of making it easy and free for retail clients to access Europe-wide best execution liquidity.”

News Article

Equiduct, the retail-focused pan-European exchange, announced today that CaixaBank, one of Spain’s leading retail banks, is the newest member to join Apex, the commission-free, on-exchange trading service for retail investors in Europe. Apex will provide CaixaBank access to trading across 11 European markets and over 1500 stocks and ETFs under one platform, whilst delivering Best Execution.

Wail Azizi, Managing Director & Global Head of Growth at Equiduct said “We are delighted to welcome CaixaBank to Apex. CaixaBank has a strong commitment to transparency and a history of delivering cutting-edge solutions to their clients. Through our innovative market model, CaixaBank will be able to bring first-class Best Execution services with the objective of obtaining the best prices for its end clients. Apex is a thriving service and its success amongst retail brokers is evidence that the European trading community were ready to embrace technology and revolutionise the trading status quo. With Apex, retail brokers now have a partner who understands their needs and is on their side”.

Launched in November 2019, Apex is Equiduct’s on-exchange trading venue for retail orders in Europe. It was introduced to evolve retail trading, providing retail brokers with access to multiple markets through a single exchange venue, whilst delivering on Best Execution requirements. Apex achieves this by automatically calculating the best possible price for each order at the instant at which the trade occurs. CaixaBank’s retail orders submitted to Equiduct will trade against a pool of liquidity providers, as well as other brokers present in the order book, contributing to the objective of offering the best prices for end retail clients.

José Manuel Varela, managing director Markets Department at CaixaBank, said: “We are excited to join Apex and access the depth of liquidity from Equiduct’s pan-European order book through this platform connection. One of our strengths at CaixaBank is that it not only aims to offer the best solutions to all its clients’ needs today, but it also thrives to continue doing so in the future. Therefore, gaining access to Apex across Europe in a single trading venue is one more example of how we use technology to deliver more value to our clients”.

Equiduct reports a year of significant growth in 2020 admin Mon, 01/18/2021 - 13:27

News Article

Equiduct, the pan-European retail-focused exchange, today released transaction results for full year 2020. It reported an overall ADV (average daily volume) of €281m for the last quarter of the year, gaining 65% in comparison to the same quarter in 2019. ADV for 2020 reached €283m, up from €149m in 2019 – an 88% increase. By comparison, trading activity across Europe’s lit markets grew by only 5% year on year. Total price improvement more than doubled from €2,202,176 to €5,420,506 – this means Equiduct was able to deliver an improvement of 146% to end investors on their execution prices when compared to the previous year.

Equiduct also reported a 132% increase in total trades – from 6.3m in 2019 to 14.6 million trades in 2020. Equiduct saw an increase of nearly 90% in turnover (volume of transactions); and its market share of the pan-European market increase by 78%.

This success comes following the 2019 launch of Apex – the commission-free, Best Execution service for retail brokers. Apex is a fully transparent, MiFID-compliant, regulated trading service which allows retail orders to execute against the pan-European order book and is supported by a pool of Liquidity Providers and active brokers.

Dave Murphy, CEO of Equiduct, said “2020 was a year of high volatility and the market conditions saw increased retail participation. We believe it is the responsibility of exchanges to provide innovative solutions to improve the markets, and this is central to all that we do. We listen to market participants and strive to constantly improve our already best-in-class offering. This is why we launched Apex one year ago - to provide a level playing field for retail brokers who have not always been able to benefit from access to multiple liquidity sources following the introduction of MiFID. Our technology was built for retail brokers with the goal to bring meaningful improvements for the end investor and Best Execution for all. Our astounding 2020 results are a clear endorsement of our services from the retail community, with an increase of nearly 90% in turnover and a 78% increase in our market share against the pan-European market”.

Wail Azizi, Managing Director & Global Head of Growth at Equiduct, added “We have seen incredible appetite from the retail broker community to access innovative solutions to provide Best Execution at a better cost to their clients. Simply sending orders to the primary venues is no longer enough; 2020 was a bustling year for Equiduct with five new brokers joining Apex. Our robust and scalable technology consistently delivered an increase of 132% in number of trades as well as +146% in price improvement through a seamless experience for our clients throughout the year. We are excited for 2021 as we gear up to welcome even more members to the platform, helping them provide cost-effective Best Execution to an ever-expanding number of retail investors throughout Europe”.

Equiduct, le marché paneuropéen dédié aux investisseurs particuliers, publie ce jour ses résultats pour l’exercice 2020. Le volume d’échange moyen s’est établi à €281 millions lors du dernier trimestre de l’année, en hausse de 65% par rapport au quatrième trimestre 2019. Le volume d’échange moyen sur l’année s’est établi à $283 millions, en hausse de $149 millions par rapport à 2019, ce qui représente une augmentation de 88%. A titre de comparaison, l’activité de trading sur les marchés réglementés européens a progressé de seulement 5% en glissement annuel. Le volume des ordres exécutés à un prix plus avantageux que le prix demandé par les investisseurs a plus que doublé par rapport à l’an dernier, passant de €2 202 176 à €5 420 506, soit une hausse de 146%.

Le nombre d’ordres exécutés a augmenté de 132%, passant de 6,3 millions en 2019 à 14,6 millions en 2020. Equiduct a enregistré une hausse de près de 90% de son volume de transactions et a vu sa part de marché sur le marché paneuropéen augmenter de 78%.

Ces excellents résultats interviennent suite au lancement d’Apex, le service gratuit de meilleure exécution pour les courtiers en ligne. Apex est un service de trading réglementé, transparent et conforme à la directive MiFID, qui permet aux particuliers d’exécuter leurs ordres à partir d’un carnet d’ordres européen consolidé et est alimenté par un réseau d’apporteurs de liquidité (« liquidity providers » ou « LP »).

Dave Murphy, CEO d’Equiduct, explique : « L’année 2020 a été marquée par une forte volatilité et par une hausse de la participation des investisseurs particuliers. Nous estimons qu’il incombe aux divers opérateurs de marché de proposer des solutions innovantes pour rendre les marchés plus efficients et nous œuvrons sans relâche en ce sens. Nous sommes à l’écoute des intervenants de marché et nous nous efforçons d’améliorer continuellement notre offre. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous avons lancé Apex il y a un an. L’objectif était de permettre aux courtiers en ligne d’accéder aux nombreuses sources de liquidité qui leur avaient été inaccessibles jusqu’alors, suite à l’entrée en vigueur de la directive MiFID. Notre technologie a été conçue pour les courtiers en ligne dans le but d’offrir des améliorations notables aux investisseurs et de garantir la meilleure exécution des ordres pour tous. Nos excellents résultats en 2020 sont une marque de reconnaissance de la part des investisseurs particuliers, comme en attestent la hausse de près de 90% de notre volume de transactions et l’augmentation de 78% de notre part de marché sur le marché paneuropéen ».

Wail Azizi, Managing Director & Global Head of Growth chez Equiduct, précise : « Les courtiers en ligne se sont rués sur les solutions innovantes leur permettant d’offrir à leurs clients une exécution optimale de leurs ordres, à moindre coût. Se contenter de transmettre les ordre aux marchés primaires ne suffit plus. L’année 2020 a été particulièrement faste pour Equiduct puisque 5 nouveaux courtiers ont rejoint Apex. Notre technologie fiable et modulable nous a permis d’augmenter de 132% le nombre d’ordres exécutés et de 146% la quantité d’ordres exécutés à un prix plus avantageux que le prix demandé. L’année 2021 s’annonce particulièrement réjouissante puisque nous nous préparons à accueillir de nouveaux membres sur la plateforme, avec la ferme intention de les aider à offrir une meilleure exécution au meilleur prix aux investisseurs particuliers européens, de plus en plus nombreux.

News Article

Equiduct, la piattaforma pan-europea focalizzata sul segmento retail, ha pubblicato oggi i risultati delle transazioni per l’anno 2020. Ha riportato un ADV (volume medio giornaliero) complessivo pari a 281 milioni di euro per l’ultimo trimestre dell’anno, con un guadagno del 65% rispetto allo stesso trimestre del 2019. Il volume medio giornaliero per il 2020 ha raggiunto quota 283 milioni di euro, contro i 149 milioni di euro del 2019, ossia un incremento dell’88%. In confronto, l’attività di trading nei mercati europei tradizionali è cresciuta solo del 5% anno su anno. Il prezzo è migliorato complessivamente di più del doppio, passando da 2.202.176 a 5.420.506 di euro: ciò significa che Equiduct è riuscita ad offrire agli investitori finali un miglioramento dei prezzi di esecuzione pari al 146%.

Equiduct ha inoltre registrato un incremento del 132% delle operazioni totali – passando dai 6,3 milioni del 2019 ai 14,6 milioni di transazioni nel 2020. Equiduct ha assistito ad un incremento di circa il 90% del turnover (volume di transazioni) e la sua quota di mercato in tutta Europa è salita del 78%.

Questo successo segue il lancio, nel 2019, di Apex - il servizio di best execution senza commissioni per gli intermediari retail. Apex è un servizio di trading regolamentato, conforme alla normativa MiFID e completamente trasparente, che permette l’esecuzione degli ordini retail nell’order book di tutta Europa ed è supportato da un insieme di provider della liquidità e di broker attivi.

Dave Murphy, CEO di Equiduct, ha dichiarato: “Il 2020 è stato un anno di forte volatilità e la partecipazione del segmento retail è aumentata. Crediamo che sia responsabilità delle borse offrire soluzioni innovative per migliorare i mercati e questo aspetto riveste un ruolo centrale nella nostra attività. Diamo spazio alle esigenze degli operatori e cerchiamo di migliorare costantemente la nostra offerta - che già si presenta come best-in-class. Per questa ragione abbiamo lanciato Apex un anno fa – per offrire un terreno di gioco di livello ai broker retail che non sempre sono riusciti a beneficiare dell’accesso a più fonti di liquidità dopo l’introduzione delle normative MiFID. La nostra tecnologia è stata ideata per i broker retail, con l’obiettivo di migliorare significativamente l’esperienza finanziaria degli investitori finali e la best execution per tutti gli attori coinvolti. I risultati sorprendenti che abbiamo ottenuto nel 2020 testimoniano l’evidente apprezzamento dei nostri servizi da parte della comunità retail, con un miglioramento di quasi il 90% del turnover e un aumento del 78% della nostra quota di mercato rispetto al mercato paneuropeo”.

Wail Azizi, Managing Director e Global Head of Growth di Equiduct, ha aggiunto: “I broker retail hanno dimostrato uno straordinario interesse per le soluzioni innovative che consentono di fornire best execution ad un costo più vantaggioso per i propri clienti. Inviare semplicemente gli ordini alle principali piazze di negoziazione non è più sufficiente; il 2020 è stato un anno frenetico per Equiduct, in cui cinque nuovi broker sono entrati a far parte di Apex. La nostra tecnologia, solida e scalabile, ci ha consentito di ottenere un aumento del 132% del numero di operazioni, oltre ad un miglioramento del +146% del prezzo tramite un’esperienza perfetta per i nostri investitori durante tutto l’anno. Con il 2021 siamo certi che avremo la possibilità di accogliere un numero ancora maggiore di membri sulla nostra piattaforma, aiutandoli ad offrire una best execution efficiente dal punto di vista dei costi ad un numero crescente d’investitori retail in tutta Europa”.

El ADV correspondiente a 2020 alcanzó 283 millones de euros, lo que supone un incremento del 88% con respecto a la cifra de 149 millones de euros alcanzada en 2019.

Consideramos que las bolsas tienen la responsabilidad de ofrecer soluciones innovadoras para mejorar los mercados, y esto constituye el eje de todo lo que hacemos. Escuchamos a todos los participantes en el mercado y nos esforzamos por mejorar constantemente nuestra oferta, ya de por sí la mejor de su clase. Por ello pusimos en marcha Apex hace un año, para ofrecer las mismas condiciones a los brókeres minoristas que, desde la introducción de MiFID, no siempre han podido beneficiarse del acceso a varias fuentes de liquidez. Nuestra tecnología ha sido desarrollada para brókeres minoristas con el objetivo de aportar mejoras significativas para el inversor final y la mejor ejecución para todos. Nuestros abrumadores resultados para 2020 constituyen un claro respaldo de la comunidad minorista a nuestros servicios, con un incremento de casi el 90% en volumen de negocio y un aumento del 78% de cuota de mercado en comparación con el mercado paneuropeo».

Wail Azizi, Managing Director & Global Head of Growth de Equiduct, señaló que «Hemos observado una enorme demanda de la comunidad de brókeres minoristas para acceder a soluciones innovadoras que les permitan ofrecer la mejor ejecución a sus clientes al mejor coste. Ya no basta con limitarse a enviar órdenes a las principales plazas; 2020 fue un año de gran actividad para Equiduct, en el que cinco nuevos brókeres se incorporaron a Apex. Nuestra sólida tecnología escalable obtuvo un incremento constante del 132% en el número de operaciones, así como una mejora de los precios del +146% con una experiencia sin fisuras para nuestros clientes a lo largo de todo el año. Tenemos grandes expectativas respecto a 2021, ya que nos preparamos para acoger a un número incluso mayor de miembros a la plataforma, a los que queremos ayudar a ofrecer la mejor ejecución en lo que a coste/eficacia se refiere a un número cada vez mayor de inversores minoristas de toda Europa».

Equiduct, the retail-focused pan-European exchange, announced today that Interactive Brokers is the latest member to join Apex. By coming aboard, Interactive Brokers will gain access to Equiduct’s Best Execution services across 11 European markets through a single trading connection, with zero execution fees.

“Interactive Brokers is a major player and a global brand, and we’re delighted to showcase the breadth of value we can offer. In the first half of 2020 we delivered a price improvement of over €2.5 million and are excited to extend Apex, our best execution service, to Interactive Brokers and their end investors”, says Dave Murphy CEO of Equiduct. “Trading has changed: the future is all about maximum and cost-effective access to liquidity. Apex opens doors to pan-European liquidity using a single exchange connection and zero execution fees for retail brokers, allowing Interactive Brokers to advance their already impressive execution capabilities”.

Equiduct’s innovative Best Execution products reduce both execution and post-trade costs by sending fewer trades to clearing, whilst providing brokers with access to the best prices on the major primary and secondary markets in Europe. Launched in November 2019, Apex is the first commission-free, on-exchange trading service for retail orders in Europe, which guarantees Best Execution for every trade. Pre and post-trade transparent, Apex delivers daily execution quality reports which provide evidence of Best Execution for each trade.

Steve Sanders, EVP of marketing and product development at Interactive Brokers said: “We have always focused on transparency and delivering superior pricing at low cost across the full breadth of our global product offering. Joining Equiduct gives us the edge in Europe, supporting Best Execution across the fragmented European liquidity landscape, helping us achieve the best possible results for our clients whilst maintaining low execution costs. We are thrilled to access the depth and breadth of liquidity available through Apex, particularly during this period of high volatility when our clients need it the most”.
