Stock exchange listings

Guernsey has developed significant experience and expertise for listing vehicles on capital markets including the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and The International Stock Exchange (TISE).

London Stock Exchange

Guernsey is home to more non-UK entities listed on the LSE markets than any other jurisdiction globally. LSE data shows that at the end of December 2020 there were 102 Guernsey-incorporated entities listed across its various markets.

This is comfortably more than the major economic powers of Russia, USA and India. It is also well ahead of competitor centres such as Jersey, Ireland, the Isle of Man, BVI, Cayman and Bermuda.

Guernsey's market leading position is due to a combination of the many advantages it offers companies looking to raise capital in London:

Experienced providers of legal, tax, accounting and administration services
Modern company law
State-of-the-art company registry
Close proximity to London

The International Stock Exchange

The International Stock Exchange (TISE) provides a responsive and innovative listing and trading facility for companies to raise capital from investors based around the globe.

Headquartered in Guernsey, TISE offers access to a regulated marketplace from within the European time zone but outside the EU.

TISE offers a convenient and cost-effective service for listing a wide range of products, including:

Trading companies
Debt
Investment vehicles
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs)
TISE GREEN

Established in 1998, TISE now has more than 3,000 listed securities on its Official List with a total market capitalisation of more than £400 billion. Its market authority ensures that issuers meet the conditions for listing and trading and that they comply with their continuing obligations, as well as conducting surveillance to maintain market integrity.

Other capital markets

In addition to the LSE and TISE, Guernsey can provide speedy access to a number of international stock exchanges including NYSE, Euronext, Australia, Frankfurt, Toronto, Hong Kong, Ireland and Johannesburg.
