Mexico stock exchange Proceeds to the MILA TRAC list, a new instrument that permits monitoring the MILA market

Mexico City, April 13, 2016.

Through the MILATRAC list and the first share placement to be made simultaneously, BMV contributes to having a more liquid and diversified regional market.

Within the scope of the integration of Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru stock markets to the Latin American Integrated Market (MILA), and leveraging the fact that the complete cycle of routing, execution and post-trading for the purchase and sale of securities between the four members is already a reality, the Mexican Stock Exchange and stock brokers have finalized significant actions that reveal the great interest for promoting the regional markets.


Within the initiatives, ActinverTracs, S.A. of C.V., carried out the MILATRC list. This new instrument replicates the S&P MILA Pacific Alliance Select Mexico Domestic Index, which is a sample comprised of the 62 shares of the largest and most liquid companies traded within the MILA platform, the Pacific Alliance securities market, and which consider companies from distinct sectors such as: Financial, Energy, Food, Trade, Infrastructure, Housing, Telecommunications and Technology.

Along with market development, in December 2015 the first Mixed Shares Public Offer was carried out simultaneously in the securities markets integrated in MILA. The Corpovael, S.A.B. of C.V., “CADU” placement set a milestone by being listed in the four stock markets with which the investing public has access to a greater diversification of options. “CADU’s” offer represented the return of housing-related companies to the Mexican securities market.

The dynamism of the Mexican Stock Exchange was evident with the first operation on this platform in December 2014.

These initiatives have been possible thanks to changes made to the legal framework and regulations in each of the countries integrated in the Pacific Alliance, as per the new legal and secondary provisions that govern the operation of projects, which in turn shows the commitment of the authority to this new initiative.

Since its incorporation to this regional market integration plan, the Mexican Stock Exchange has been an active participant, which has permitted laying the foundations for the MILA concept to be a world reference where global investors identify new Latin American opportunities so that they seize the great potential of the different markets and contribute to the exchange of financial flows.

Similarly, the stock exchanges integrated in MILA have encouraged the achievement of higher and better exposition of the markets that are involved, as well as a substantial offering of products and opportunities for local and foreign investors, which has as its purpose to consolidate a more liquid, visible, attractive and diversified platform, as well as to increase the range of investment products in the region.

About MILA

MILA is a cross-border initiative integrating the Chilean, Colombian, Mexican and Peruvian securities markets. In terms of market capitalization and number of companies traded, it is the largest market in Latin America and the second in volume traded. MILA, which started with the trading of shares in 2011, has been possible thanks to the coordinated efforts by the stock exchanges, the central securities depositories and the regulatory entities of its four member countries.

Chile, Colombia, México and Peru are also part of the Pacific Alliance, an economic block that seeks to reduce the tariff and non-tariff barriers, and in a more general manner, encourage economic cooperation among its members. MILA aims to become a fully integrated financial market that meets the financing, trading and post-trading needs of a broadened Pacific Alliance.
