As large exchange groups gear themselves to be the hottest investment pick for analysts, the Mondo Visione Exchange Forum opens in London tomorrow, to discuss how this will stack up in the coming year.
The FTSE Mondo Visione Exchanges Index demonstrates that the prices of publicly listed exchanges are continuing to rise, as the big global players prioritise their offerings and shape their strategic messages. “Exchange groups as investments” is the opening panel topic at the Mondo Visione Exchange Forum, now considered the industry’s leading executive event.
During October, the FTSE Mondo Visione Exchanges Index*, which aims to reflect market sentiment and is a key indicator of the exchanges’ performance, saw a 3.4 per cent increase. All but three of the constituents’ share prices increased in value during the month.
Commenting on the Index which closed up at 28,152.01 on 31 October 2013, Herbie Skeete, Managing Director, Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index said:
“The fortunes of Multi Commodity Exchange of India and its founder Jignesh Shah were thrown into sharp contrast this month. MCX was at the top of the Index leader board recording an impressive 26.5 per cent return, while Jignesh Shah resigned from the bourse’s board at the end of October, amid questions regarding his status as a ‘fit and proper’ person.”
The FTSE Mondo Visione Exchanges Index best performer by capital returns in US dollars was India’s Multi Commodity Exchange with a 26.5 per cent increase in share price from 30 September to 31 October 2013. The next best performer was Greece’s Hellenic Exchanges SA with a 22.7 per cent increase over the same period.
The FTSE Mondo Visione Exchanges Index worst performer by capital returns in US dollars was Canada’s TMX Group a 4.4 per cent decrease in share price from 30 September to 31 October 2013. This was followed by the New Zealand Stock Exchange with a 1.4 per cent decrease over the same period.
