CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the
world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today
announced the company was named "Best Global Exchange" by Markets
Media 2015 Markets Choice Awards. The award ceremony, held
last night in New York, recognized
CME Group's excellence in diverse and innovative new products,
client service and education, and technology design and execution
as voted by peers and customers.
The Markets Choice Awards include more than 20 categories that
span across exchanges, sell-side desks, institutional buy-side
investors, hedge funds, and technology providers. The methodology
in selecting nominees and winners focused on the most important
opinions: those of market participants.
"Recent upticks in volatility led to record volumes at CME Group
in 2014," said Terry Duffy, CME
Group Executive Chairman and President. "As we move into
2015, customers will need to manage their risk and at CME Group
we're continuously striving to provide the tools they need.
Winning Best Global Exchange and knowing the votes came from our
customers makes this recognition even more gratifying."
"Last year we saw strong, broad-based volume growth across all
six asset classes," said Phupinder
Gill, CME Group CEO. "Our business continues to evolve
and diversify as our customers seek new and innovative products and
services. At CME Group, we pride ourselves on being able to
respond to this demand and this award for Best Global Exchange
recognizes our commitment to listen and serve our
clients."
Markets Media conducted several dozen one-on-one interviews with
senior market participants across the buy side and sell side,
focusing on the areas of their expertise. Then, an initial
nominee-generating process was open to readers and social media
followers. Finally, the publication deliberated internally and, in
consultation with the Markets Media Advisory Board, selected the
winners.
