The announcement marks an extension of LSEG and AWS’ multi-year collaboration and will see the exchange migrate its internal systems to the cloud.
The move is also expected to improve the exchange’s strength and security during client interactions and provide faster and more accurate risk analysis to LSEG’s risk intelligence division by incorporating generative AI platform, Amazon Bedrock.
Daniel Maguire, group head of markets at LSEG, said: “Our ongoing collaboration with AWS is an important part of the group’s cloud strategy. LSEG’s role as a leading global market infrastructure and data provider means that operational resilience is the foundation of everything we do – and cloud services are the cornerstone of our approach.”
LSEG clients will be able to continue using historical, quantitative FTSE Russell indices through AWS, which is expected to address challenges of time-to-insight and operational costs by allowing for deep access to market trends and patterns.
“AWS has deep expertise in meeting the unique needs of financial markets participants around the world, and we are excited about the opportunity to scale our work with LSEG,” said Tanuja Randery, AWS EMEA managing director.

The partnership between LSEG and AWS has been ongoing since 2017, when the exchange began migrating some of its workloads to the provider, with the aim of modernising its infrastructure and increasing efficiency.
In May 2023, LSEG used AWS to expand its connectivity with capital markets trading and risk solutions provider, Murex, and enhance real time data services for clients. The move allowed Murex’s MX.3 platform to be integrated with LSEG’s Real-Time – Optimized (RTO) cloud-based data solution when hosted on AWS.
