"The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has secured a £170 million investment from 11 of the world's largest banks, strengthening its post-trade operations and deepening ties with key industry partners. The investment, announced alongside the group's Q3 2025 results, values LSEG's Post Trade Solutions arm at £850 million and marks another milestone in the company's strategy to expand its data and risk management technology footprint."
