Guernsey Continues To Lead For LSE Listings

Guernsey is again the global finance industry's number one choice for non-UK entities listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE).

LSE data shows that there were 124 Guernsey-incorporated entities listed on the Main Market and AIM at the end of 2016.

Guernsey added nine new entities to the LSE markets during 2016, which is the same number as its two nearest competitors combined, excluding the UK. Those Guernsey entities included Hadrian's Wall Secured Investments, the first investment company to list on the LSE's Main Market in 2016, and VinaCapital Vietnam Opportunity Fund, which completed its migration from the Cayman Islands to Guernsey and its move from AIM to the premium segment of the Main Market in the early part of last year.
