Societe Generale expands offering listed on Spectrum Markets to Italy

By Gloria Methri

Spectrum Markets, the pan-European trading venue for securitised derivatives, has announced that one of its members, Societe Generale, is expanding its daily constant leverage products and vanilla warrant offerings listed on Spectrum to Italy.

Spectrum’s plug-and-play infrastructure, and its single European ISIN, enable Societe Generale to easily extend its geographic coverage within the trading venue, without listing new instruments.

The addition of these financial instruments expands the range of investment solutions available to Italian retail investors via Spectrum, allowing them to benefit from a deeper pool of European liquidity.

Spectrum will continue to manage a unique, international order book for each individual instrument listed by Societe Generale, which also incorporates trading volumes from Spain, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, where some of these products were first made available at the end of last year.

Nicky Maan, CEO at Spectrum Markets said, “We are very pleased to see Societe Generale expanding the scope of its relationship with Spectrum so soon after listing its first products with us. The firm is well known for its pioneering approach within the industry, and we look forward to continuing to work together on delivering our shared goal of providing European retail investors with an innovative, accessible, safe, and transparent financial market experience.”

Didier Imbert, Head of Public Distribution Europe for Societe Generale said, “Our experience with Spectrum Markets has been very good so far, and we have been pleased with the way we were able to simply and efficiently add Italy to the scope of our offering on the trading venue. We see significant demand for our range of securitised derivative products from retail investors across Europe and we very much look forward to seeing how this partnership continues to develop in the coming years.”
