Channel Islands Securities Exchange Sees Listings Increase

More than 400 securities were listed on the Channel Islands Securities Exchange (CISE) in 2015. Investment funds, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and convertible bonds were among the 423 securities which listed on the CISE last year. This represents an 8% increase in the number of securities listed compared to the previous year, taking the total number of listings to 2,173.

During the period, the market capitalisation of the CISE increased by £61.6 billion (21%).

Fiona Le Poidevin, Chief Executive of the CISE, said: "It's really pleasing to see this increase in new business during 2015. We've seen a wide range of new listings, including both open and closed ended funds but notable growth areas have been REITs, where already we have a number of further applications for listing in the coming weeks, and also convertible bonds, where we expect to see a further pipeline of business in 2016."
