Equiduct, the European share trading platform aimed at retail investors, has appointed a new chairman at its Belgian-based holding company Easdaq NV as part of a broader expansion of its board.

Artur Fischer, who has served as chairman of Easdaq since 2007, has been replaced by Daniel Pouget, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. The reshuffle comes as Equiduct awaits the verdict of a key regulatory vote over its compliance with European trading rules.
