Xavier Rolet, the former London Stock Exchange Group CEO, on how the UK can save its global clearing hub

Today’s guest outlines the steps UK institutions, and their regulators could take now to prevent London from losing its status as a global clearing hub. He details the regulatory changes to equity markets and pension fund rules that UK lawmakers should consider to ensure the City retains its global leadership in financial services post-Brexit. And he explains how a proposed 2017 merger between the London Stock Exchange Group and its German rival Deutsche Börse could have helped London better navigate some of its most complex Brexit issues.

These are all subjects he is considerably well-versed in because Xavier Rolet ran the London Stock Exchange Group as its CEO for nine years until November 2018. Since then, he has held a number of CEO and chairmanship positions across major global financial institutions including the hedge funds CQS and Shore Capital.
