Our Proposition
Built on a culture of responsiveness and innovation, The International Stock Exchange (TISE) provides financial markets and securities services to public and private companies.
TISE is best known as one of Europe’s major professional bond markets. Its Qualified Investor Bond Market (QIBM) is the leading market in Europe for listing high yield bonds and is experiencing strong growth in structured finance and securitisation transactions. TISE also has a pool of ‘domestic’ equities and a significant share of the market for listed UK Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), as well as hosting a comprehensive sustainable finance segment, TISE Sustainable.
In 2023, TISE launched a unique offering for the private markets. TISE Private Markets provides unlisted companies with a dedicated marketplace through which they can access an integrated set of tailored electronic solutions, including trading, settlement and registry management.
Headquartered in Guernsey and with staff operating across Dublin, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Jersey and London, TISE has over 4,000 securities on its Official List with a total market value of more than £700 billion.
Looking Forward
In an increasingly complex world that is driven by changes in regulation and the acceleration of industry automation, we aren't standing still but continuously improving our offering aligned with market and client demands.
We remain focussed on what we are good at: the efficient and secure listing of bonds. Whilst we are committed to maintaining our market leader position in specific segments of the international bond markets, such as private equity debt and high yield bonds, we are expanding our geographical reach to scale up our listing business in the UK, Europe and internationally. The expansion of our product and service offering will help to enlarge and diversify our revenue streams and mitigate business concentration risk in the future.
During 2023 we were delighted to launch our new, innovative private markets offering, TISE Private Markets. Providing private companies with access to a set of integrated, tailored electronic auction trading, settlement and registry management solutions, our unique service gives unlisted companies a much more efficient way to trade their shares than the ad-hoc arrangements that are the norm in private companies. We were very pleased to welcome Blue Diamond Limited, the leading garden centre group based in the UK and Channel Islands, as the first company to join TISE Private Markets.
We continue to invest in modernising and enhancing our technology platform to ensure that we maintain the high-quality client service which is vital to capitalise on the opportunities in both the public and private markets. For our public market, the re-platforming will provide a modern, efficient and simplified service and strengthen our market analysis capability and risk management practices.
