CMU OmniClear has launched a direct linkage between Central Moneymakers Unit (CMU) and Switzerland鈥檚 national central securities depository (CSD) operator, SIX.
This milestone marks the first launch of CMU OmniClear鈥檚 equity post-trade services, since its establishment in 2024.
Historically, CMU has worked to connect Mainland China to international markets. With the addition of this new linkage, CMU members can now invest and hold securities in Swiss and Spanish markets through CMU OmniClear, allowing them direct access.
The partnership can enable Chinese outbound investment into additional markets beyond Hong Kong and Asia, facilitating global asset allocation.
Mr Stanley Chan, group CEO of CMU OmniClear Holdings and CEO of CMU OmniClear, says: 鈥淲e are pleased to have strengthened our cross-border connectivity with the European markets and for the first time, we are extending our assets servicing platform beyond fixed income to support equities.
鈥淚t is a new chapter in our journey to become a one-stop multi-asset class post-trade securities infrastructure, enabling more comprehensive product and client coverage.
鈥淕oing forward, we will continue to collaborate with SIX to explore extending the linkage to other markets, expanding our equity post-trade asset servicing capabilities.鈥�
Mr Francisco Bejar, head of custody at SIX, adds: 鈥淏y combining CMU OmniClear鈥檚 role as gateway for institutional demand with the international custody and post-trade infrastructure of SIX, we are helping to create a trusted and scalable model for connecting investors to European markets.鈥�
