- Aquis Exchange PLC operates as a pan-European exchange services group primarily engaged in cash equities trading, growth and regulated primary markets, and exchange technology development. Its core offerings include Aquis Markets, a subscription-based exchange delivering pan-European cash equities trading; Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE), a growth-focused and regulated primary market facilitating equity and debt listings with tailored environments for high-growth smaller companies; and Aquis Technologies, which develops and licenses next-generation exchange technology such as matching engines and trade surveillance solutions to third parties globally. The company provides exchange software hosting, SaaS models, exchange operations, and first-line surveillance services compliant with a wide range of regulatory standards primarily across Europe, including the UK, and has expanded its geographical reach to several international regions. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Aquis Exchange PLC targets institutional clients, brokers, and growth companies seeking efficient, innovative, and accessible capital markets. Its technology and trading venues are designed to enhance liquidity and market access across multiple venues by offering simplified connectivity and scalable infrastructure. The company operates through multiple subsidiaries, with distinct divisions focusing on technology licensing, cash market trading, and primary listings. In a major recent development in 2025, Aquis Exchange PLC was acquired by SIX Group AG, a leading Swiss-based exchange operator, completing the transaction in June 2025. This strategic acquisition integrates Aquis’s next-generation technology and pan-European market access with SIX’s extensive capital markets infrastructure, creating a combined market share of approximately 15% across 16 European capital markets. Post-acquisition, Aquis continues to operate under its brand and existing management while benefiting from SIX’s scale, allowing it to accelerate innovation, extend market reach, and offer clients a seamless unified trading experience across multiple European financial centers including Switzerland, the EU, and the UK. This acquisition represents a significant strategic expansion and operational shift, establishing Aquis as a key part of a pan-European exchange innovator with a broader market footprint and enhanced technological capabilities. The combined entity aims to deliver more liquidity, better access, and integrated trading solutions through a single connection to multiple venues. Aquis’s focus remains on providing growth companies with tailored listing environments and advancing exchange technology as a nucleus for capital market innovation under the aegis of SIX Group AG. Overall, Aquis Exchange PLC is positioned as a next-generation financial market facilitator, combining cutting-edge exchange technology, regulated listing platforms, and pan-European trading services, primarily for institutional investors and growing enterprises across Europe and select international markets, with recent strategic realignment driven by the SIX acquisition in 2025.
