At its Investor Day on 7 November 2023, Deutsche Börse presented its “Horizon 2026” strategy. We are right on track with the implementation.
Its core elements are:
continued strong organic growth of seven per cent per year until 2026
the completed acquisition of SimCorp, contributing a further three per cent per year to growth
the new Investment Management Solutions segment as a strategic cornerstone with high growth potential and recurring revenues
an expansion of the leading position in the area of digital platforms for existing and new asset classes
a refined capital management with more active use of share buy-backs, beginning in the first quarter 2024 with a volume of €300 million
Horizon 2026 in a nutshell
Organic growth
With continuous trust in our business model and a priorisation of sustainable capital allocation, we continue our focus on strong organic net revenue growth.
Based on structural industry trends, the ever growing importance of the buy-side, evolving customer needs and a normalising interest rate environment, organic growth will continue to be the cornerstone of the strategy in the future.
Investment Management Solutions
In re-shaping the former Data & Analytics segment, Deutsche Börse will strengthen its focus on data and analytics-powered investment management solutions.
The segment combines the existing subsidiaries Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and STOXX as well as Axioma with the newly added software and SaaS business of SimCorp.
The aim is to offer institutional investors products and services along their entire value chain.
Digital assets
The long-term growth potential from new technologies is based on the digitalisation of asset classes and the corresponding trading and settlement platforms. It will focus on:
the further expansion of cloud usage
the accelerated development of Clearstream's D7 digital post-trading platform
the creation of a trading platform for digital asset classes to significantly expand the range of both, investable and tradable instruments.
“We are right on track with the implementation of our Horizon 2026 strategy. The very good secular growth of our business units, together with the successful integration of SimCorp are clear signs of progress. We are working with great motivation and focus on implementing our strategy and are very confident of reaching our financial targets for 2026.”
Stephan Leithner, Co-CEO, Deutsche Börse AG
