Spectrum Markets (Spectrum), the pan-European trading venue for securitised derivatives, has joined the German Derivatives Association (DDV), as a supporting member.
Its introduction to the association underpins the association's work for structured products.
The DDV represents the issuers of structured securities to improve the political and regulatory framework for structured products in Germany and Europe, contributing to the increasing level of private investors opting for certificates and warrants.
DDV is the industry representative of the leading issuers of structured securities in Germany. Together with its members and supporting members, DDV sets industry standards for the self-regulation of structured securities.
Nicky Maan, CEO of Spectrum, says: "The DDV membership is a significant strategic step forward for us, as it is opening up the opportunity to participate in industry committees and working groups on regulatory initiatives and to share expertise developed from our pan-European trading network here.”
