Deutsche Börse AG has agreed to acquire the remaining 49% stake in Clearstream Fund Centre from UBS, for CHF 390 million. Thereby, Deutsche Börse will become the sole shareholder in the Zurich-based fund distribution platform, having initially closed the acquisition of a 51% stake on 30 September 2020. The transaction is expected to result in a low to medium double-digit million Euro book gain for Deutsche Börse.

UBS remains a key long-term partner of Clearstream across the full value chain of the funds services market.
