Swiss stock exchange group SIX scored two top prizes in this year’s Financial News Trading & Tech Awards after completing a landmark deal for Spanish bourse BME in 2020.
SIX was named Exchange Group of the Year and its clearing business won Clearing House of the Year. Its majority stake in BME, bought for €2.8bn, catapulted SIX into the big leagues and it is now the third-largest exchange operator in Europe by revenue.
