Overview

The London Stock Exchange is one of the world's oldest exchanges, with origins in seventeenth-century coffee house trading. It operates two principal markets: the Main Market for larger, established companies, and AIM, designed for smaller and growing businesses.

London has historically attracted a high proportion of international listings, functioning as a venue for companies well beyond the United Kingdom.

Known For

Financial services, mining, and energy listings
AIM as a route to market for smaller growth companies
A notably international listed company base
Strong institutional and pension fund participation

Listing Considerations

AIM carries lighter regulatory requirements than the Main Market
AIM companies must retain a nominated adviser on an ongoing basis
UK and EU regulatory frameworks diverge in areas relevant to listing
Time zone position bridges Asian and American trading hours
