Stephan Leithner commented on this as follows:

“Being a strong partner for the leading players in the asset management industry is a key pillar of Deutsche Börse Group’s strategy. Deutsche Börse Group and DWS work together in many areas – from ETF and index products, through an increasing role of direct clearing and settlement activities to the long-term strategic partnership between SimCorp and DWS on technology.

It was exciting to get insights from Stefan Hoops on the implications of the new DWS and Deutsche Bank strategy for our partnership, to exchange about the transformation journey of the capital markets, and to discuss how to further support the German and European efforts to strengthen capital markets and the SIU.

Let’s continue joining forces to boost innovation, integrity and entrepreneurial spirit!”
