Exchange Traded Funds Euronext offers the ETF community a comprehensive solution for multi-national listing and trading in ETFs and investments, within Euronext’s Single Order Book. Euronext’s ETFmarkets are supported by robust market infrastructure where product supply and demand meet within a framework of deep liquidity and advanced price formation. Euronext develops relations not only with issuers, but also with liquidity providers, intermediaries, investors, regulators

and others in the ETF community to understand their challenges and needs, providing strong alignment with Euronext’s business goals and a strong foundation to co-create new products to accelerate growth in the ETF industry with the support of its major participants. Euronext’s client alignment is demonstrated by Euronext winning ETF Express award during 2017 – the second time in a row, being consistently recognised as the Best ETF Exchange in Europe. This award is voted for by Euronext’s clients.

Agility for Growth, Pan-European ETF MTF Euronext intends to become the one-stop-shop pan-European ETF platform with an ambition to be the #1 trading venue for ETFs in Europe. Launching an MTF for ETF trading is one of Euronext’s selected growth initiatives within Euronext’s Agility for Growth strategy. The European ETF market is fragmented and opaque with approximately 70% of trading volume in the region taking place off-exchange. Yet ETFs are increasingly popular among both retail and institutional investors, as the trend for passive investing grows and there is ever increasing focus on investing and managing risk efficiently. Euronext is building a dedicated pan-European platform for ETF trading, with unique features seeking to attract volume into an exchange environment promoting transparency, improving efficiency and deepening liquidity. Euronext’s mission is to accelerate the growth of the ETF industry in Europe to the benefit of end investors and intermediaries, Euronext has strong support from a diverse set of stakeholders within the ETF community.

Open Ended Investment Funds Euronext’s Fund Services offer asset managers ways to achieve better operational efficiency and enhance asset gathering opportunities. By engaging in active discussions with key stakeholders, the Company believes its offering is a relevant choice for any issuer considering fund distribution in Europe. The services include:  Euronext Fund Service Amsterdam, first launched in 2007, which enables fund managers to further extend the geographic reach of their funds across Europe and will include a broader choice of trading solutions.  Euronext Fund Service Paris, launched in May 2017, which is a complementary cutting-edge offer providing a global access to the funds universe, in order to meet the requirements for modern and automated solutions. This service is available for both UCITS funds and AIF (Alternative Investment Funds), and orders will be placed at Net Asset Value (NAV) in euros.
