- Since the first issuance in 2024, more than 4,500 products have already been issued via CONNEXOR on BME
As a key issuer of structured products, BNP Paribas has started using CONNEXOR as a tool for the issuance of warrants, structured notes, and other products in the Spanish market, benefiting from the efficiency and speed improvements that this solution brings to the issuance process.
CONNEXOR is becoming firmly established in BME as the preferred tool for issuers to manage the issuance and listing of structured products. For issuers, CONNEXOR delivers automation and standardization benefits such as scalability through uniform processes, high data quality, and cost savings.
CONNEXOR enables issuers to increase both the number and variety of structured products while simultaneously reducing time‑to‑market—an essential factor in a volatile market when offering attractive products. This, in turn, allows investors in the Spanish market to access a broader range of solutions to support their individual investment strategies.
Since the first issuance in 2024, more than 4,500 products have already been issued via CONNEXOR on BME, illustrating the synergies created by BME within SIX. CONNEXOR has enhanced efficiency in the competitive landscape of structured products in Spain by facilitating not only product issuance, but also the automated management of corporate events such as barrier hits and early redemptions.
Additional milestones strengthening BME’s competitive position include the reduction of issuance and trading fees, the streamlining of the legal documentation review process to improve issuance efficiency, and the implementation of new corporate events such as mark‑ups through CONNEXOR. These enhancements simplify product management for issuers and support more frequent issuances better aligned with investor needs.
Francesco Marcon Fiastri, Head of CONNEXOR and Structured Products Sales at SIX, commented:
“We are very pleased that BNP Paribas has started using CONNEXOR to issue products on BME. This implementation will streamline the issuance process, improve listing timelines, and enable BNP Paribas to continue expanding its offering to investors, while reducing operational risks and costs. This milestone confirms BNP Paribas’s commitment to the Spanish market, resulting in a stronger product offering for Spanish investors and a significant improvement in issuance efficiency for BNP Paribas in terms of costs, timelines, and service.”
Benoit Roquant, Global Head of Exchange Traded Solutions, BNP Paribas, added:
“The introduction of Connexor streamlines our issuance workflow and dramatically accelerates time‑to‑market for our products. As a result, our Spanish investors gain access to a wide range of structured products on BME, tailored to meet their specific needs. This rollout represents a significant step that strengthens and expands our offering in Spain.”
