A well-functioning securities market is crucial for economic growth and prosperity. The more active the trading, the easier it is for businesses to find the capital needed for development. Liquidity, in turn, increases as the transaction chain for securities trading becomes more efficient. For exchanges, clearing organizations, central securities depositories and other market participants, greater scale and volume combined with efficiency deliver unbeatable value and opportunity.

Vision

OMX’s vision is to be regarded as the world leading partner for more efficient securities transactions.

Business idea and business model

OMX’s business idea is built on three cornerstones that together contribute to our extensive knowledge of the transaction chain and unique ability to deliver solutions for more efficient securities transactions.

Operating OMX-owned marketplaces

OMX’s exchanges in the Nordic and Baltic region are important assets and the first cornerstone of our business model. By operating and integrating these exchanges, OMX gains scale, knowledge and experience to facilitate efficient trading and develop technology solutions.

Developing cutting-edge technology

OMX leads the world in technology solutions for operators in securities markets. This cornerstone enables efficient securities handling for both OMX’s own exchanges and our international customers.

Global customer base

OMX’s international customers are world leading financial institutions and operators of infrastructure for financial transactions. These customers make up the third cornerstone of OMX’s business model, giving us the credibility and expertise to maintain a market leading position.

Strategy

OMX’s strategy is to provide knowledge and solutions across the entire transaction chain, from the exchange, clearing organization and central securities depository to the market participant. This strategy is reinforced by the unique combination of our exchange ownership and technology development.
