Switzerland’s SIX Digital Exchange (SDX), the regulated digital securities Financial Markets Infrastructure (FMI), and Aktionariat, a technology provider for digitised private shares in Switzerland, have formed a partnership aimed at further developing the digital ecosystem for issuers and institutional investors. SDX and Aktionariat will partner to tackle one of the biggest challenges that growing companies face – access to capital. One of the key success factors for raising capital is access to a broad investor base. As a result of this partnership, companies issuing shares through Aktionariat’s technology will be able to register digital securities seamlessly in SDX’s regulated central securities depository (CSD). By being able to offer a wider range of custody options, companies can expand their addressable investor base.
