Equiduct Expands into the Swiss Market
Equiduct, the leading pan-European retail-focused exchange, today announced the launch of its Swiss equity segment, providing retail brokers using Apex with access to 138 of the most liquid Swiss-listed stocks — all priced in Swiss francs (CHF). The newly available securities include heavily traded household names such as Nestlé S.A., Novartis AG, UBS Group AG, and ABB Ltd.
Liquidity on the Swiss segment of Equiduct is supported by Apex market makers Virtu Financial, Hudson River Trading, and Optiver. As with all executions on Equiduct, trades on the Swiss segment will benefit from fully interoperable clearing via Equiduct’s pan-European network of CCPs: LCH Ltd, Cboe Clear, and the local Swiss CCP SIX x-clear.
This expansion follows formal approval from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), which recognises Börse Berlin and Equiduct as a regulated market under Article 41 of FinfraG. This status also paves the way for Swiss banks and brokers to join Equiduct as direct exchange members, further enhancing best-execution capabilities for Swiss retail brokers and benefiting the Swiss retail investment community.
To support the launch of the Swiss segment and Equiduct’s growth in the region, the responsibilities of Massimo Formichi Moglia, Head of Italy, have been expanded to include Switzerland — ensuring continuity and leveraging regional synergies.
Wail Azizi, Chief Strategy Officer at Equiduct, said: “Our Swiss expansion, backed by formal recognition from FINMA, marks a significant milestone in Equiduct’s mission to deliver true pan-European best execution for retail investors and enables us to bring our market-leading, commission-free trading model to one of Europe’s most sophisticated markets. By adding Swiss equities to Equiduct, we’re also continuing to empower European retail brokers and their clients with broader access, greater transparency, and exceptional execution quality.”
With the launch of the Swiss market segment, Equiduct now offers commission-free best execution and consolidated market data products for over 1,873 stocks and ETFs across 13 European markets and 18 headline indices.
