The Independent Directors of NSX have requested KPMG Corporate Finance (Aust) Pty Ltd (KPMG) prepare an Independent Expert’s Report (IER) to express an opinion as to whether the Offer is fair and reasonable to the fully paid shareholders of NSX other than FEX and its associates (Non-Associated NSX Shareholders).

  • The Convergence Between Islamic and Conventional Exchanges: Performances and Governance
    The convergence between Islamic and conventional exchanges: performances and governance Josanco Floreani, Andrea Paltrinieri, Flavio Pichler, Maurizio Polato September 2013 n. 5 /2013 1 Josanco Floreani Andrea Paltrinieri University of Udine University of Verona Flavio Pichler Maurizio Polato University of Verona University of Udine Abstract Based on a dataset of 31 conventional and Islamic exchanges we set down a framework for assessing economic and financial performances in the stock exchange industry. The convergence between conventional and Islamic markets poses, furthermore, relevant implications as for governance in the industry. In particular, we compare performances focusing on the relations between financial and market data. We show that the two clus- ters operate with different business models and at different stages of the development process. We also find that Islamic exchanges are less efficient that non-Islamic ones. However, their performances are sensitive to the same value drivers. The institutional specificities of Islamic markets do not have, seemingly, a relevant impact on perfor- mances. Keywords: Conventional Exchanges, Islamic Exchanges, Performance, Governance JEL Classification: G23; G29 1. Introduction Over the last two decades the securities industry has undergone a process of rapid transformation which has speeding up during last years. The backbone of such a process is the demutualization of a large part of stock exchanges around the world, which, there- fore, changed their legal status into a for profit shareholders-owned companies (IOSCO, 2001). The main drivers that led stock exchanges to demutualize had been increased global competition and advances in technology, rather than the mere need to raise capital (Ag- garwal, 2002; Steil, 2002).

  • Mifid and a Changing Competitive Landscape
    MiFID and a changing competitive landscape RYAN J. DAVIES * April 2008 (updated July 2008) THIS WORKING PAPER IS FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES ONLY. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A LEGAL OPINION NOR SHOULD IT BE USED AS THE BASIS FOR INVESTMENT DECISIONS. COMMENTS WELCOME. In November 2007, the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) came into full effect. MiFID is the most significant European Union legislation for investment intermediaries and financial markets ever intro- duced. In general terms, MiFID is designed to provide a common, harmonized set of rules for the provision of investment services in each of the EU member states. A key feature of this legislation is the concept of a pass- port by which firms (e.g. investment banks, broker dealers, stock exchanges and alternative trading systems) are regulated primarily by their home state but can operate in other EU host states. MiFID also removes the so- called concentration rule, allowing greater competition for order flow across trading venues. This paper shows how new requirements concerning best execution, client classification, systematic internalisers, pre- and post- trade transparency, and the ownership of market data have created enormous new business opportunities. This paper argues that MiFID has already succeeded in its goal of introducing greater competition, as already made evident by the early success of new trading venues such as Instinet Chi-X and new market data providers such as Markit BOAT. Further exchange consolidation, more sophisticated smart order routing, and new entrants such as BATS Europe, Nasdaq OMX Europe, and Project Turquoise suggest that European financial markets are on the cusp of further major (and unpredictable) changes.

  • The Competitive Evolution of Stock Exchanges - the Case of NASDAQ OMX Stockholm
    The competitive evolution of Stock Exchanges - The case of NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Klaudyna Augler † och Caroline Eriksson * Bachelor’s Thesis in Finance Stockholm School of Economics Presentation: 13:15 May 24, 2012, Room 348, Sveavägen 65 Tutor: Mariassunta Giannetti Abstract The stock exchange industry has experienced a remarkable development over the last two decades. Stock exchanges that traditionally have been organized as non-profit mutual organizations or public institutions have demutualized and taken on a clear for-profit structure. Globalization as a result of changes in regulations and the advancement of technology has further fuelled the development of a competitive stock exchange industry. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the case of the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm in the light of this competitive landscape. Following a theoretical overview, the reader is guided through the major events of the competitive evolution of the exchange. In order to put the development of NASDAQ OMX Stockholm in a further context, a comparison is made with its closes Nordic peers. The authors illustrate how regulations and the technological advancement have played a key role in the formation of NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. †[email protected] * [email protected] .

It focuses on topics such as globalisation, economic development, diversification of and challenges facing resource rich economies, trade relations between the Gulf States and major trading partners, energy trading, security and migration. The Programme primarily studies the six states that comprise the Gulf Cooperation Council – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. However, it also adopts a more flexible and broader conception when the interests of research require that key regional and international actors, such as Yemen, Iraq, Iran, as well as its interconnections with Russia, China and India, be considered. The Programme is hosted in LSE’s interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of Global Governance, and led by Professor David Held, co-director of the Centre. It supports post-doctoral researchers and PhD students, develops academic networks between LSE and Gulf institutions, and hosts a regular Gulf seminar series at the LSE, as well as major biennial conferences in Kuwait and London.
