Strategic pillar | Examples | |
Data and analytics |
The increasing importance of data in the investment and trading process is shaping what customers require from financial markets infrastructure businesses. Our Information Services division is driving the development of our data and analytical capabilities. At a Group-wide level, we also aim to develop and refine the datasets we source and the capabilities that we have in all of our businesses to support our objective to become a global leader in data and analytics. |

Capital formation and trade execution |
Building on our existing capital markets capabilities, we aim to further grow our global footprint and ability to offer cross-border trading and investment opportunities, in addition to developing our multiasset class capabilities and increasing our participation in the private markets capital raising process. This is supported by a strong focus on developing our technology capabilities to enable us to build and run high performing and resilient platforms. |

Risk, collateral and processing solutions |
Providing stable, transparent and efficient post trade solutions globally where risk is appropriately managed is a key priority for our business. We continue to invest in the stability and resilience of our clearing and settlement businesses and in growing our regulatory reporting and post trade capabilities to increase transparency for our customers and help them meet their regulatory reporting requirements. |

Group operating model and culture |
Creating a strong and diverse culture built around our values and nurturing a Group mindset is a key enabler in building a Group operating model focused on delivering our business strategy. Additionally, we are committed to developing new ways of facilitating Group-wide collaboration across our business divisions. The drive towards creating an effective Group operating model is underpinned by our efforts in developing a stable, resilient and efficient technology infrastructure for our customers and businesses. |
