Equities

TISE is a regulated stock exchange home to a range of innovative equity listings

Responsive. Innovative.

Innovative

In addition to being a well known venue for listing bonds, TISE is also a listing venue for investment vehicles, including funds, REITs and ILS. We are always open to discussing new product lines while also monitoring trends and developments globally to ensure it has an offering which is reflective of the marketplace.

We accept vehicles from the plain vanilla to those investing into more alternative and esoteric asset classes.

Investment vehicles and trading companies can be traded on exchange through our auction system NOVA, by market marker or order driven matched bargain basis.

We were the first to provide transaction settlement for OEICs at Euroclear UK & Ireland, and have more recently worked alongside issuers with blockchain enabled settlement processes.

We have invested in technologies that provide an intuitive member services portal, MyTISE, for an expedient turnaround of listing applications.

TISE Guarantee (3+1)

Our market facing listing team guarantees review timelines (3+1) in order that issuers might plan their equity launch with certainty.

We commit to conduct an initial review of listing applications within 3 business days of first submission and within 1 business day of subsequent submission(s).

We will return comments immediately on completion rather than waiting for a day 3 close of business.

TISE’s market authority can consider and approve final applications received before 12:00 on the intended day of listing, or with the intention of listing the morning of the following business day.

Open ended investment vehicles can elect to list at either 18:00 the same business day or 08:00 the following business day. Listing takes place at 08:00 the next business day for trading companies and closed ended investment vehicles.

Global Recognition

TISE is a Recognised Stock Exchange under S.1005 of the UK’s Income Tax Act 2007 for the purposes of investment by Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) and Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), as well as UK REIT requirements, where applicable.

Global recognition also includes the US SEC (Designated Offshore Securities Market) & German regulator BaFin (approved stock exchange).

We are an actively engaged participant of the wider securities industry with official memberships extending to AFME, ICMA, IOSCO & WFE.

The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited is licensed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission to operate an investment exchange under the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2020 and holds MoUs with regulators in other jurisdictions. Our regulated market status has enabled our issuers to attract significant institutional and sophisticated investor groups from jurisdictions across the globe.

Why TISE?

Competitive Fees

Initial and annual fees are fixed, rather than applied according to market capitalisation, and are competitive compared to other similar stock exchanges.

We are more reasonable than the larger stock exchanges and can save issuers significant sums on both listing and on-going administrative costs. The overall cost, including adviser fees, is less in comparison to traditional exchanges and therefore attractive for a wider range of companies and funds because it allows an earlier point of listing.

Location

Headquartered in Guernsey and with staff operating across the international finance centres of Dublin, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Jersey and London, TISE offers a convenient and pragmatic marketplace from within the European time zone but outside the EU.

We bring the expertise available in these financial centres to the growing number of international issuers requiring first class services.

We are not bound by any EU directives and, as a result, we are able to be considerably more nimble and flexible in our approach.
