'Already competitive': ASX boss brushes off Cboe challenge
CEO Helen Lofthouse told Capital Brief that the bourse is not a monopoly and already competes with market operators both regionally and globally.
ASX chief executive Helen Lofthouse says she is unconcerned about Cboe Australia entering the listings market, insisting the ASX is not a monopoly.
Speaking to Capital Brief on the sidelines of the Citi Investment Conference 2025, Lofthouse said that with Cboe’s entrance, the ASX would continue doing what it always had — "competing on a global stage for company listings, trying to make sure we have an attractive listing proposition".
Lofthouse was quick to say that the ASX was not a monopoly in corporate listings, arguing it already competed with exchanges locally, regionally and globally.
“Cboe joining in that process doesn’t really change what’s already a very competitive playing field. It’s absolutely not in any way a monopoly,” she said.
