Exchange groups continued morphing from utility-like trading centres to hubs of financial data and technology, where exchanges partner with data and technology providers to leverage their brand and market reach and generate new streams of repetitive revenues while growing their profile as innovation leaders. Deutsche Boerse's acquisition of Axioma and the LSEG's proposed acquisition of Refinitiv indicating that a strategic repositioning of exchange groups and market data vendors is now underway.

Herbie Skeete, Managing Director, Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index said:
"At the moment trading venues and market data vendors are blaming each other for the soaring cost of market data with both sides hiring consultants to prove their case. With Refinitiv about to be acquired by the London Stock Exchange Group it remains to be seen whether the Refinitiv/LSEG position on market data presents both sides of the combo with a conflict which someone is probably going to call them out on, sooner or later."
