Incorporating London Derivatives Exchange Limited and Global Derivatives Indices Limited (GDI), the new structure will enable the company to deliver an expanding range of products responding to changing market dynamics.

The management team of LDX Group will be led by Vj Angelo as CEO, with James Davies as COO. Sandy Broderick continues as non Executive Chairman of both LDX and GDI alongside non-exec board members Phillip Simons, Global Head of Fixed Income Sales and Senior Expert Stuart Heath both from Deutsche Börse. Societe Generale’s interests are represented by David O’Shaughnessy, Head of EMEA Prime Brokerage and Clearing, Prime Services.

“This is an exciting time for the company,” commented Angelo. “The new structure marks the next phase of development, which will enable our highly skilled team to work with our clients in developing solutions to address the rapidly changing economic and trading landscape. With the Interest Rate Swap Constant Maturity Future we have begun the process. LDX is now planning to introduce a number of new approaches to augment the IRS CMF in a variety of asset classes. Our aim is to work with our clients and the market place as a whole to resolve some of the many issues brought about by regulatory change and the current economic conditions.”

“LDX can now focus on delivering its approach to market change,” added Broderick. “In LDX we have the people and the products to make a real difference to how markets trade and clients interact with each other. Our CMF product demonstrates a thoughtful approach to the needs of a broad range of clients when creating solutions for the new regulatory environment. The LDX team can now look to expand and strengthen the adoption of the CMF and other products to meet client needs now and in the future.”
