Roundtables on consolidation

Consolidation in the investment funds sector and trading and post-trading infrastructure.

Roundtables on consolidation 26 September 2024, Brussels

The aim of the event is to hold a general exchange on the recently strengthened political focus on consolidation (across various market segments), considering its possible upsides, downsides and regulatory constraints. This discussion should take place against the background of the objectives on the capital markets union (CMU) and EU competitiveness. It will bring together investment funds (‘buy-side’), financial institutions (sell-side) and infrastructure operators.

The Commission views consolidation as a market-driven process with EU legislation aiming to remove obstacles and provide incentives to that process rather than trying to impose consolidation per se and the objective of this workshop would be to identify any obstacles to a market driven process.
