What nuam does

nuam is a publicly traded regional holding company headquartered in Chile, formed in 2024 to integrate three Latin American stock exchanges—the Santiago Stock Exchange (Chile), Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (Colombia), and Bolsa de Valores de Lima (Peru)—into a single unified market platform. The company wholly owns and operates the three national exchanges and serves issuers, broker-dealers, asset managers, institutional and retail investors, and other capital-market participants across the Andean region.

The company's core platform unifies trading, listing, post-trade, and market-data infrastructure across the three exchanges with the stated objective of enabling issuers to raise capital and investors to trade securities across Chile, Colombia, and Peru under harmonized rules. On June 5, 2025, Chile's financial regulator (CMF) approved the integration Operations Manual, a regulatory milestone enabling unified market operations. On July 8, 2025, MSCI launched the MSCI NUAM Index tracking 56 constituent companies with a combined market capitalization of approximately $319 billion, providing third-party validation of the integrated platform's investability from a global index provider.

nuam generates revenue from transaction fees on securities trading across the three exchanges and listing/maintenance fees on the issuer base. As a regulated infrastructure operator rather than a software vendor, the company does not license platform technology or sell subscriptions; monetization scales directly with trading volumes and the size of the listed universe in each country. Operating economics, product pricing, and unit-level revenue data are not disclosed in the input.

Broad incumbents

• Deutsche Boerse: Deutsche Boerse operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and broader Xetra/Eurobench European infrastructure, including clearing (Eurex) and index/data businesses. Comparable as a large incumbent multi-asset exchange operator with similar revenue lines but significantly broader scope than nuam's equity-focused LatAm platform.
• Nasdaq, Inc. Nasdaq operates the U.S. Nasdaq exchange and Nordic/Baltic exchanges (Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Iceland), functioning as a multi-country exchange operator with similar transaction-fee, listing, and data revenue model. Comparable to nuam as a multi-jurisdiction operator with integrated cross-country infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Singapore Exchange (SGX): SGX is a publicly listed, multi-asset exchange holding operating equity, derivatives, fixed income, and commodity markets. Comparable to nuam's structure as a publicly traded operating holding with revenue from transaction, listing, and data services.
• Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX): HKEX operates a multi-asset, multi-jurisdiction exchange and clearing infrastructure including the Hong Kong, Mainland, and international markets. Comparable to nuam as a publicly listed exchange holding group with cross-border integration ambitions.
• Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE): JSE is the principal exchange operator in South Africa across equities, derivatives, bonds, and commodities. Comparable to nuam as a publicly held, national/regional exchange operator with listing, trading, and data revenue streams.
• TMX Group: TMX Group operates the Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange, Montreal Exchange, and other Canadian and international venues. Comparable to nuam as a publicly listed regional holding combining multiple exchanges under one infrastructure.
• Bursa Malaysia: Bursa Malaysia is a publicly listed regional exchange holding operating equity, derivatives, and Islamic markets. Comparable to nuam as a publicly held single-country exchange operator with diversified fee revenue, data services, and similar regulatory environment.
• Euronext: Euronext operates a multi-country integrated exchange platform across Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Lisbon, Dublin, Milan, and Oslo. It is the closest analogue to nuam's model of consolidating formerly independent country exchanges into a single unified venue with standardized operations.
• B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão): B3 is the operator of the Brazilian stock exchange and a publicly listed holding company that operates exchange, clearing, and market infrastructure across asset classes. It is the most comparable LatAm peer in scale, business model, and revenue mix (transaction fees, listing fees, data and services).

Regional players

• Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV): BMV operates the Mexican stock exchange and SENTRA Derivatives Market, and is part of a publicly listed LatAm exchange group. Comparable to nuam as another LatAm equity and derivatives venue serving a regional investor base, but focused on a single country.
