The event demonstrated how the exchange is innovating and modernising its infrastructure to deliver value to market participants and shareholders. The discussions focused on the progress made in diversifying the Group’s revenue sources, the multiple levers driving sustainable growth and the pathway to delivering quality earnings.
"Over the past five years, the JSE has undergone transformative change, positioning itself as Africa’s premier financial hub. With a market capitalisation exceeding R18.6 trillion, we are one of the top 20 global exchanges by market cap, offering unmatched reliability with a market availability of 99.99%. Our reputation as an efficient and trusted regulator is well-established,” said Fourie. “Moving forward, we are focused on further diversifying our revenues across business segments and asset classes, while embracing partnerships and innovation to modernise our systems. This will ensure that we continue to deliver superior value to all our stakeholders."
The JSE’s revenue diversification strategy aims to balance the concentration in trading revenue by expanding non-trading revenue streams, including Information Services and JSE Investor Services (JIS). The presentation on Group strategy also highlighted the JSE’s cloud strategy and ongoing infrastructure modernisation – particularly the upgrade of the Broker Dealer Accounting (BDA) system – to enhance operational agility and technological innovation. Fawzia Suliman, CFO at the JSE, provided a detailed overview demonstrating how the bourse is navigating challenging market conditions by adopting a disciplined approach to cost management and making strategic investments in technology for sustained growth, thereby maintaining strong cash generation and shareholder returns.
“We are confident that our 2026 strategy will allow us to generate sustained earnings growth while reinforcing the JSE's position as a forward-looking and diversified exchange. At the same time, we are focused on creating a sustainable marketplace that supports long-term value creation for all its stakeholders,” concluded Fourie.
