Welcome to you in Good Company. I'm Nikolai Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Subon Wealtham.

Now, today I'm joined by David Schwimmer, the CEO of Elseg, which contains the London Stock Exchange.

Now, this company has been at the forefront of financial markets for centuries. It's now a global powerhouse.

David is a New Yorker with a really interesting background and we'll explore some of

that. But David, I'm so happy that I managed to convince you to come on when we lost at

dinner in London. Nikola, it's a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.

Elseg contains London Stock Exchange, but it also does a lot of other things.

So what does the company actually do?

Let's kick off with the basics.

So we are one of the worlds, or I'll say the world's leading financial markets infrastructure and data provider.

We have a number of

different businesses that serve customers by side, sell side financial institutions and

corporates, governments across the trade life cycle, across the value chain. So just in terms of

the specific businesses that we are in, We have data and analytics for the number

one provider in the world of, for example, real-time financial data. We have an index business,

Futsi Russell, which is one of the world's leading index businesses. We have a risk intelligence

business, which provides the leading content set for what banks use for background checks

and KYC AML.

You put all those businesses together.

That's our data and analytics offering.

That's roughly 70% of our revenue.

Then we have capital markets execution venues across multiple asset classes.
