Our strategy


Our strategy is to compete globally in the market for financial transaction services and become the market of choice. We intend to grow our existing business and the reach and scale of our operations, through business development initiatives, acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances where appropriate.

To implement this strategy, we will pursue 3 objectives:

  • Reinforcing and extending our position as the premier source of equity market liquidity, benchmark prices and market data in the European time zone
  • Operating a diversified business which capitalises on the emergence of an increasingly innovative environment, through leadership in technology and market services
  • And thereby delivering superior value to our customers and shareholders

  • Regulatory changes are encouraging customers to examine how they conduct business
  • Evolving investment strategies are stimulating demand for greater cross-border product range
  • Consolidating post-trading infrastructure are providing choice among transaction venues and offering change at minimal cost to customers
  • Pursue a competitive strategy and exploit the advantages of the London market model

  • The Exchange embarked on a programme of work to completely refresh its technology systems and operations; our Technology Roadmap. This represented the biggest change to our trading systems since the implementation of the Sequence Programme and SETS between 1994-1997. This technology upgrade was completed on 18 June 2007 with the launch of TradElect, the Exchange's new trading system. 
  • This follows the successful introduction of TradElect to Johannesburg market participants on 2 April 2007.
  • We believe in supporting choice, accommodating diversity and our customers’ different business models

 

Customers make the market
