Methodology
For exchanges and trading venues already covered by the Online Handbook, the author subscribes to press releases and regularly monitors the press release and investor relations sections of their websites so that changes in senior executives and other key events can be monitored.
Once per year, the author sends a questionnaire to each exchange and trading venue covered by the Online Handbook for the exchange or trading venue to complete.
Each exchange or trading venue is also sent their updated profile to check that it is complete and accurate.
The profile for all but minor exchanges and trading venues will be updated several times each year (apart from statistics which are updated at year-end).
