Euronext has unveiled a new matchmaking service for fund managers who want to buy and sell shares in large orders, away from traditional exchanges.

The exchange operator, formed from a merger of the Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels stock exchanges, said in a February 15 statement that it will partner with fintech firm AX Trading to create a "block trading" service for equities, from small cap stocks to blue chips.
