Solactive announces its collaboration with Galilee Asset Management on the launch of a new thematic index series developed from Galilee Trends, Galilee’s proprietary thematic research framework. The series comprises four thematic indices focusing on Space Exploration, AI & Robotics, Luxury & Lifestyle, and Water. The launch marks a further step in Galilee Asset Management’s long-standing thematic research efforts under the Galilee Trends label. Building on previous research outputs such as a thematic codex, white papers, thematic indicators, and thematic investment solutions, the new indices are designed to translate this research into investable underlyings. The index series is intended to support the development of thematic investment solutions over time, including thematic structured products and tracker certificates, with the potential for thematic ETFs at a later stage. The thematic index series comprises the Solactive Galilee AI & Robotics Index, the Solactive Galilee Luxury & Lifestyle Index, the Solactive Galilee Space Exploration Index, and the Solactive Galilee Water Cycle Index. Each index is calculated and published in Price Return (PR), Net Total Return (NTR), and Gross Total Return (GTR) versions, and Adjusted Return (AR) versions in EUR, USD, and CHF. For each theme, the methodology starts by mapping the ecosystem of funds and ETFs exposed to the respective investment theme. Based on this analysis, the 50 most represented equities are selected from a broader universe of approximately 250 stocks per theme to reflect a market-based representation that is not driven by the discretionary views of a single manager. Additional market capitalization and liquidity criteria are applied to support investability and potential use in structuring. Steffen Scheuble, Chief Executive Officer at Solactive, commented: “We are happy to support Galilee Asset Management in bringing this thematic index series to market. By combining Galilee’s thematic research capabilities and expertise with Solactive’s index competence, we are creating a series of customized indices that translates differentiated research into transparent, rules-based and investable benchmarks.” Roni Michaly, President of Galilee Asset Management, added: “With this series, we are reaching a key milestone: making our Galilee Trends research directly actionable through investable indices designed to reflect how market participants perceive each theme and to enable innovative solutions, particularly in structured investments.”

LSEG today announces the launch of Trade Surveillance, designed to assist market participants in identifying and investigating potential market abuse and financial crime with greater operational and cost efficiency. Trade Surveillance is now live with two solutions, servicing MiFID and FX. As market behaviours and regulatory requirements evolve and place demand on financial institutions to identify market abuse and financial crime in increasingly sophisticated ways, traditional surveillance tools can be inefficient and costly. Addressing these challenges head-on, LSEG’s new offerings are built on a breadth of high-quality, trusted data, and leverage our proprietary surveillance technology which processes billions of trade and order messages across our venues every day. Trade Surveillance provides clients with alerts on their private trade data, alongside contextual public market data, reference data and news to facilitate cross-venue alerts that are designed to help reduce false positives, as well as behavioural anomaly detection capabilities that provide deeper insights into trading behaviour. Trade Surveillance for MiFID is a multi-market, multi-asset solution for market participants that trade MiFID instruments. It utilises the same datasets used by UK and EU regulators for market abuse detection. The solution delivers cross-venue, cross-product alerting, enabled by our consolidated European orderbook, built with data from over 40 UK and EU trading venues and APAs. For clients of our Regulatory Reporting Solutions ARM, the service is completely plug and play, with no technical build or data integrity work required. Trade Surveillance for FX provides a solution for spot FX participants on the LSEG FX Dealing, Advanced Dealing and Matching platforms, as well as those trading on third-party venues captured by LSEG’s Trade Notification network. Available through a secure web-based GUI with zero integration required, the FX solution also includes the ability for clients to view their private trade data against the public Spot Matching orderbook. Liam Smith, COO, LSE plc and Digital & Securities Markets, LSEG, said: “We are delighted to bring Trade Surveillance to the market. By leveraging LSEG’s proprietary technology and robust data, Trade Surveillance enables firms to strengthen compliance, reduce operational risk, and gain actionable insights into trading behaviour.” Bruce Kellaway, CEO, Regulatory Reporting Solutions, LSEG, said: “Ensuring compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation remains fundamental to firms with regulatory obligations. With its methodology and data-sets aligned with UK and EU regulators, Trade Surveillance for MiFID offers a robust multi-market, cross-product and cost-effective solution that customers can adopt with minimal effort, to support firms in evidencing regulatory compliance.” Bart Joris, Head of FX Sell-Side Trading, LSEG, said: “In a fragmented FX market, context is vital to help assess and manage regulatory risk. Trade Surveillance for FX brings together trusted data as well as activity across LSEG FX platforms and third-party venues, enabling participants to better analyse trading behaviour and make insight-based decisions efficiently.” Learn more about Trade Surveillance here: Trade Surveillance Solutions | LSEG

KEY POINTS The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) rolls out its 3-year strategic plan under the concept "The Trusted Gateway to Inclusive Opportunities" with the aim to broaden investment opportunities and enhance the Thai capital market's competitiveness and efficiency. Three core strategies emphasize collaboration with all sectors to drive market forward, remove barriers, and foster growth amid challenging market conditions. o   Exciting Markets with Confidence - Proactively create opportunities, enhance liquidity, and strengthen confidence  o   Grow Business with Stakeholders - Unite forces to expand growth  o   Great Process and People - Modernize infrastructure and empower human capital  SET President Asadej Kongsiri stated: “SET remains vigilant and proactive in addressing the formidable challenges confronting us--declining confidence in the Thai capital market, contracting trading liquidity, absence of new S-Curve industry listings, and intensifying competition from foreign markets and alternative assets. Moreover, risks are mounting on multiple fronts including political uncertainties, economic slowdown, and global conflicts. Our comprehensive analysis indicates that the Thai capital market requires fundamental transformation to reclaim its position as a compelling investment destination. This strategic plan commits to aggressive, coordinated action across all dimensions--enhancing market attractiveness, boosting liquidity, elevating company valuations, and most critically, restoring confidence while creating new opportunities for all stakeholders." The SET group's three-year strategic plan (2026-2028) under the concept "The Trusted Gateway to Inclusive Opportunities" comprises the following three core pillars: 1) Exciting Markets with Confidence Attract Fund Flow: Partner with key stakeholders to revitalize investor participation and expand the investor base following 2025’s liquidity contraction. Introduce new products including Bond Connect Platform and Crypto ETF, while expanding Depositary Receipts (DRs) and Leveraged & Inverse ETFs (L&I ETFs). Develop a comprehensive mobile application serving as a one-stop investment platform for all asset classes.  Execute strategic inbound and outbound roadshows to attract foreign investment, while advocating regulatory reviews to facilitate international participation. Elevate Listed Company Quality: Collaborate with regulators to streamline IPO regulations and accelerate listing processes, attracting high-potential businesses and strengthening competitiveness against regional exchanges. Partner with the Board of Investment (BOI) and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) to attract New Economy companies, foreign enterprises, SMEs, and startups. Enhance corporate visibility through the JUMP+ initiative while strengthening corporate governance among Thai listed companies. Promote Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) for Strategic Investment: Actively promote TFEX as an essential tool to complement equity portfolios and develop sophisticated investment strategies. Introduce new derivative products to expand investment opportunities, including short-dated instruments and crypto-based products. Enhance trading liquidity through market makers and professional traders, while collaborating with domestic and international securities firms to broaden the investor base. 2) Grow Business with Stakeholders Establish SET Climate Ecosystem: Expand SETCarbon platform accessibility to listed companies and their supply chains, banks, and bank clients. Develop comprehensive functionality targeting 100 additional platform participants. Position the platform as Thailand's central carbon database infrastructure with unified standards across all sectors.  Support carbon credit trading infrastructure and prepare stakeholders for Climate Change Act implementation.  Expand Market Data & Access business: Leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to develop data solutions meeting both internal and external requirements. Implement commercial service policies aligned with international best practices. 3) Great Process and People Modernize Infrastructure and Services: Develop a new Clearing system scheduled for 2027 launch to enhance operational efficiency. Upgrade Thailand Securities Depository (TSD) e-Service, including QR Code Sealer, e-Proxy, e-Document, and Investor Portal capabilities. Transform Human Capital Foundation: Drive talent development programs aligned with organizational transformation. Foster an innovation-driven culture embracing technological advancement, innovation, and new business models, leading industry transformation with sustainability awareness. SET aspires that the implementation of this comprehensive strategic plan will enable the Thai capital market to regain its vital role in driving the country's economy, reaffirming SET's commitment to connecting all sectors to the capital market and creating sustainable and inclusive investment opportunities for everyone.

Federal bank regulatory agencies today released the 2025 Shared National Credit (SNC) report that indicates credit risk associated with large, syndicated bank loans remains moderate. Credit risk trends continue to reflect the effects of borrowers' ability to manage higher interest expenses and other macroeconomic factors. The 2025 report reflects the examination of SNC loans originated on or before June 30, 2025. The reviews focused on leveraged loans and stressed borrowers from various industry sectors and assessed aggregate loan commitments of $100 million or more that are shared by multiple regulated financial institutions. The 2025 SNC portfolio included 6,857 borrowers, totaling $6.9 trillion in commitments, an increase of 6 percent from a year ago. The percentage of loans that deserve management's close attention ("non-pass" loans rated "special mention" and "classified") decreased to 8.6 percent of total commitments from 9.1 percent in 2024. The decline is primarily due to growth in new commitments rather than an underlying improvement in credit quality. U.S. banks hold 45 percent of all SNC commitments. However, they only hold 22 percent of non-pass loans, down slightly from the prior year. Nearly half of total SNC commitments are leveraged, and leveraged loans comprise 81 percent of non-pass loans. 2025 SNC Program Report (PDF)

This phase is a critical step toward enabling near-continuous trading, which will expand global market access, improve responsiveness across time zones, and strengthen market resiliency.  The transition to 24x5 trading represents a structural evolution for the industry—but it also introduces new operational and risk considerations.

DTCC is fully prepared to support the industry throughout this process and continues to collaborate closely with market participants, regulators, and exchanges to ensure readiness.

The Listing Review Committee is an independent committee of the Exchange established following the Exchange’s consultation on its review structure for Listing Committee decisions.2 The Listing Review Committee consists entirely of outside market participants to hear reviews of decisions made by the Listing Committee.  Currently, the Listing Review Committee comprises 29 members.  At least six of these members must be investor representatives and the remaining members must be a suitable balance of representatives of listed issuers and market practitioners (including lawyers, accountants, corporate finance advisers and Exchange participants (or their officers)).  Currently, five members of the Listing Review Committee form a chairmen pool.  Any review hearing by the new Listing Review Committee will ordinarily be chaired by a member from the chairmen pool.3 A separate news release has been made on the HKEX website inviting applications to the Listing Committee here.  Prospective applicants should note the principal functions of the Listing Committee set out in that news release.  The function of Listing Review Committee is as a review body only and it does not have the other functions of the Listing Committee. Appointments will be for a term of approximately 12 months commencing around July 2026.    Members of the Listing Review Committee may only remain in office for a maximum of six consecutive years.  Applicants should note that the Listing Nominating Committee expects that not all Listing Review Committee members will serve the maximum six year term as there will be a frequent turnover of members to ensure a refreshing of ideas and perspectives.  Short-listed candidates may be interviewed by the Listing Nominating Committee before appointments are made. In addition to applications received in response to this news release, the Listing Nominating Committee will consider reappointing existing Listing Review Committee members.  The Listing Nominating Committee is particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals with experience and expertise in Listing Rule matters or persons familiar with the work of the Listing Committee.4 Applicants should be able to represent the views of investors, listed issuers or market practitioners.  The Listing Review Committee will meet on an ad hoc basis as determined by requests for a review of a Listing Committee decision made by eligible parties.  Applicants should expect approximately 30 Listing Review Committee meetings to be held in a year and to attend at least half of these meetings. Meeting papers are distributed to members electronically prior to these meetings. The Exchange currently offers a fixed annual fee of $100,000 for each regular member and $125,000 for each of the Chairmen on account of attendance at, and preparation for, review meetings.  In line with the Exchange’s commitment to sustainable practices, meeting materials are provided to members electronically only.  Applications for nomination to the Listing Review Committee must be made by e-mail and accompanied by a resume.  They should be headed “Application for Nomination to the Listing Review Committee” and sent to Katherine Ng, Secretary to the Listing Nominating Committee using the email address LNCSecretary@hkex.com.hk.  Applications will be treated in strict confidence.  Personal data provided will only be used for the purpose of application for appointment to the Listing Review Committee. Applications should be submitted on or before 10 April 2026.  Applicants selected for an interview will be notified in the second quarter of 2026.
