FINEXITY Enhances Capital Markets with Roman Exenberger's Appointment

FINEXITY AG has appointed Roman Exenberger as Head of Debt Capital Markets (DCM) to boost its bond primary market activities in the DACH region. With over 20 years of experience, Exenberger joins from valantic FSA and will focus on enhancing the origination and syndication of bond issuances. This move aims to address the inefficiencies in European bond markets, providing issuers with technological support and improving syndication and placement capabilities.

The European primary bond market, with EUR 800 billion issued annually, faces challenges due to high structuring and distribution costs. Retail and semi-professional investors remain largely excluded, while alternative financing options are under pressure amid rising borrowing costs. In response, FINEXITY is developing an integrated platform for efficient bond issuance and distribution.

In the UK, corporate bonds are now accessible from GBP 1, marking progress in reducing entry barriers and strengthening primary markets. FINEXITY's efforts include expanding its DLT-based infrastructure for seamless integration of primary and secondary markets, driving growth in tokenised securities.
