LONDON and CHICAGO, Sept. 28,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading and most
diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced that the company
was named 'Global Exchange of the Year' and 'Global Clearing House
of the Year' by GlobalCapital in their Global Derivatives
Awards 2015.
GlobalCapital, a Euromoney Institutional Investor
publication incorporating the former Derivatives Week and EuroWeek,
presented the Global Derivatives Awards 2015 to mark the financial
institutions, law firms, service providers and investors that have
made an impact on the global derivatives market over the last 12
months. GlobalCapital drew up a list of nominees for each
category based on extensive market research. An editorial panel met
with nominees to discover what distinguished them from their
competitors before deciding on the winning
institutions.
In its analysis, GlobalCapital's editorial team highlighted the
forethought that CME Group has taken with both its exchange and
clearing operations as well as the reliability of its
infrastructure in times of market volatility.
"We are honored that GlobalCapital and its readership have
selected CME Group as their global exchange and global clearing
house of the year," said CME Group Executive Chairman and President
Terry Duffy. "These awards
acknowledge our success but, more importantly, drive our continued
commitment to providing customers with deep, liquid
markets and assisting them with managing risk across all major
asset classes."
In addition, GlobalCapital was impressed by CME Group's vision
for its European exchange and the expansion plans for foreign
exchange, energy, agricultural products and broader global
connectivity.
"We are focused on delivering value to our clients
through product and technology innovation as well as a
growing local presence around the world," said CME Group Chief
Executive Officer Phupinder Gill.
"We appreciate this award and will continue to work to
meet client needs in the regions and markets in which
they operate."
The awards were presented at the GlobalCapital Derivatives
Awards Gala Dinner on 24 September at Banking Hall
