Update: Market Chatter: EU Regulators Seek Feedback on Deutsche Börse's Allfunds Takeover

12:11 AM EST, 11/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The European Union's antitrust regulators sought feedback from customers and competitors regarding Deutsche Börse's (DB1.F) proposed 5.35 billion-euro acquisition of Allfunds (ALLFG.AS), Reuters reported Monday. In a questionnaire seen by Reuters, the regulator asked whether the deal announced in January would increase fund investments and financial flows to European companies, whether viable competitors exist for both companies, and whether companies would be willing to pay higher fees for the potential benefits. The responses will help the European Commission decide whether to approve the deal, with or without conditions, or launch a full-scale investigation. The commission is expected to decide by Nov. 27. The German exchange operator declined to comment when reached by MT Newswires, while the Amsterdam-listed fund trading platform did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
