Deutsche Börse and Wind, a financial data provider in China, have teamed up on European markets access, which is expected to be easier for China’s institutional investors based on market data and services offered by Deutsche Börse and its derivatives exchange Eurex.
Li Zhou, Wind’s vice president said in a statement: “As the first financial information company in China to sign a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Deutsche Börse, Wind will cooperate on market data, news and information, research reports, ESG and investor education as well as other fields based on the advantageous resources of both sides.”
Deutsche Börse Group has already established partnerships with several Chinese exchanges, among them Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and China Financial Futures Exchanges (CFFEX) as well as several institutions such as the China Futures Association (CFA) and the Asset Management Association of China (AMAC). In December 2018, the derivatives exchange Eurex extended its trading hours for selected liquid futures to cover the Asian time zone and serve the increasing demand from Asia. Eurex has also received fully-fledged clearing licences in Singapore and Japan, and is applying to offer clearing services in Hong Kong.
