Bourse Direct, a French player in online brokerage, is the first retail broker to forge a direct link with Euroclear Bank, a home of international exchange traded funds (iETFs) and a market structure that streamlines ETF settlement.
Through the collaboration, Bourse Direct will be able to simplify the process involved with ETF settlement and provide its clients with entry to a broader array of ETFs, backed by Euroclear’s protected infrastructure.
According to Euroclear, the iETF model is the industry standard as it represents a single pool of liquidity across currencies, enabling consolidation of issuing and executing for both primary and secondary markets in one spot.
Euroclear suggests this model is used for more than 80 per cent of European ETFs and improves efficiency, security and accessibility for investors.
Sebastien Danloy, chief business officer at Euroclear, says: “We are delighted to join forces with Bourse Direct to offer French retail investors easy access to a large range of UCITS ETFs.
“The choice of Bourse Direct demonstrates that Euroclear is well placed to further support the growing interest in ETFs.”
Catherine Nini, chair of the management board of Bourse Direct, adds: “Our association with Euroclear enables us to further expand our ETF offering to meet the growing demand from retail investors for innovative and diversified financial instruments.
Collaborating with a trusted European leader in market infrastructure ensures a high level of efficiency and reliability for our clients.”
