Regulatory affairs / Market Policy

Market Policy at SIX Securities Services is responsible for identifying, monitoring and influencing current as well as emerging prudential, market and other policy initiatives in the post-trading space (clearing and settlement). Principally, this is at the EU and global levels in and on behalf of our customers.

We engage with a wide range of interlocutors, including the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the BIS’s CPSS-IOSCO and the Financial Stability Board, as well as with our clients. This is done through the Swiss Securities Post-Trading Council and the Swiss and Liechtenstein Bankers Associations, and together with our domestic supervisor, FINMA, and overseer, the Swiss National Bank.  The main current issues include the developing EU legislative framework including EMIR and the forthcoming CSD legislation, as well as the revision of the CPSS-IOSCO Principles for Market Infrastructures and “Too Big to Fail” initiatives.
