Insights
Nasdaq's expanded technology partnership with nuam marks a strategic expansion of its market infrastructure footprint in Latin America's evolving capital markets. By extending its CSD platform across all three exchanges (Santiago, Lima, and Colombia), Nasdaq is deepening its technology integration beyond the existing trading infrastructure relationship with nuam and prior CSD partnership with Chile's Depósito Central de Valores.
This implementation addresses specific market inefficiencies identified in Nasdaq's own research, where
From a business perspective, this partnership reinforces Nasdaq's recurring revenue streams from its technology division. The company's market infrastructure technology has become increasingly important to its overall business model, complementing traditional exchange operations with high-margin, stable technology services revenue. This geographical expansion strengthens Nasdaq's competitive moat in emerging markets where financial infrastructure modernization is accelerating.
While financial terms weren't disclosed, the implementation likely represents a multi-year contract that will contribute to Nasdaq's technology segment performance. More importantly, it positions the company to benefit from increased capital flows into Latin America as structural barriers diminish, potentially creating a virtuous cycle of greater market participation, increased trading volumes, and expanded technology service opportunities.
NEW YORK AND SANTIAGO, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) and nuam (NUAM: nuam), the merger of Santiago, Lima, and Colombia stock exchanges, today announced an extension of their strategic technology partnership, which will see all three exchanges’ central securities depositories (CSD) adopt Nasdaq’s CSD platform to optimize post-trade processing in the region.
The agreement expands Nasdaq’s existing relationship with nuam, with the exchanges currently consolidating their trading infrastructures on Nasdaq's platform to help attract global sources of liquidity. It also builds on Nasdaq's longstanding technology partnership with Chile's CSD, Depósito Central de Valores (DCV), one of the region’s most advanced CSD platforms.
nuam’s integrated post-trade infrastructure will benefit from a unified solution based on international standards, while greater interoperability across both trading and CSD infrastructure will reduce the costs and barriers associated with accessing the individual markets, increase liquidity, and enhance operational efficiencies across the three exchanges.
"Having high technological standards is essential for providing security and confidence to investors, as well as expanding investment opportunities and access to new markets," said Juan Pablo Córdoba, CEO of nuam. "Our alliance with Nasdaq reaffirms our commitment to building an integrated, efficient, and accessible capital market in Latin America. The adoption of this technology will optimize connectivity, strengthen our infrastructure, and facilitate access for global investors, boosting competitiveness and the growth of the Latin American financial ecosystem," Córdoba noted.
“Enhancing the infrastructure underpinning global capital markets is essential to maintaining systemwide resilience and an incredibly powerful catalyst for growth,” said Magnus Haglind, SVP and Head of Marketplace Technology at Nasdaq. “nuam is at the heart of Latin America’s extraordinary journey, with the region’s markets embracing modernization at a phenomenal rate. By adopting world-leading technology they can attract international investors while ensuring they have the agility to incorporate innovative, new technologies to better serve the three markets and unlock new sources of revenue.”
According to a recent Nasdaq survey,
The implementation of Nasdaq’s CSD technology will introduce more standardized business processes and connectivity, simplifying investors’ ability to settle trades across each market. Removing barriers to investment can help attract more international capital to nuam exchanges and support the rapid development of the Latin American economy.
