Trading platforms

The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) uses the NYSE Euronext Universal Trading Platform (UTP). The partnership between LuxSE and NYSE Euronext also involves the creation of a European Economic Interest Grouping called Luxnext. One of the aims of Luxnext is the formalisation of a common European standard for listing and trading of corporate bonds. It includes NYSE Euronext adopting the Luxembourg Stock Exchange SAGE listing platform for corporate bond listings on its European markets.

The LCH.Clearnet S.A. system is used for netting and clearing transactions executed on eligible securities, allowing settlement in both CBL and Euroclear Bank.
