The German exchange is seeking to capitalise on new upselling and cross-selling opportunities, strengthening its ESG offering and rationalise certain corporate functions.
Deutsche Börse intends to combine its existing data & analytics subsidiaries Qontigo and Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) under one roof, after the takeover of investment manager SimCorp A/S is completed. Upon completion of the SimCorp A/S acquisition announced today, the three subsidiaries will be grouped within a newly created investment management solutions segment - this includes the option of a potential IPO for the combined ISS/Qontigo business in the medium term.
