500+ New Listings On The CISE In 2016

There were 502 new listings on the Channel Islands Securities Exchange (CISE) during 2016.

This represents an 18.7% increase on the previous year and took the total number of listings on the Exchange to 2,272 at the end of December. During 2016, the market capitalisation of all listed securities on the CISE increased by £36 billion (10%) to reach £393 billion at the end of the year.

During the year, the CISE played a part in a world-first when Global Advisors Bitcoin Investment Fund plc (GABI) was admitted to the Official List on 19 December and in doing so, became the first regulated bitcoin fund to be listed on any exchange globally.

Other listings during the second half of the year have been led by a number of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and high yield bonds.
