ENX is our top pick among the EU exchanges. We expect the company to benefit from a

number of structural tailwinds (improving European cash equity volumes and retail

participation) and idiosyncratic opportunities like the CSD expansion. We argue,

amongst the EU exchanges, ENX should benefit the most from the European Savings

and Investment Union (SIU), even if these measures are gradual.
