Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Selected To Publish Online Rules For International Securities Exchange

Date 22/05/2008

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services announced yesterday that it has been selected by the International Securities Exchange (ISE), the world’s largest equity options trading venue, to publish ISE rules online through its CCH Wall Street Compliance Resource Network (CRN) and Wolters Kluwer Law & Business’ Internet Research Network (IRN).

Through this new relationship, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ customers will be able to conveniently access ISE rules, along with those of many other exchanges, on a single platform. For more than 40 years, exchanges have partnered with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services to provide access to the latest industry rules. With the addition of the ISE, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ full library includes federal and state securities regulations, plus rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Financial Services Authority (FSA), American Stock Exchange (Amex), NYSE Arca, Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX).

“Not only are financial professionals able to find the most up-to-date ISE rules in a consistent format, but because Wolters Kluwer Financial Services hosts rules for nearly every exchange online, all of the rules are cross-searchable,” said Peter Berkery, vice president and general manager of Securities Compliance Solutions at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. “This is a very valuable feature for individuals who want to compare and contrast rules across the different exchanges.”

Berkery noted that regulatory intelligence is a critical component in helping the financial community meet industry guidelines and minimize risk.

“By adding the ISE rules to the CRN and IRN, we are helping meet the growing demand for global financial products and services,” he said.
