Private Equity Debt

The venue of choice for the world's leading private equity firms

QIBM is a leading international market for debt securities issued in connection with private equity structures and transactions. 

Over 300 private equity firms from around the world have listed securities on TISE, with more than 2,000 such securities currently listed on the Exchange.

Debt securities are commonly issued throughout the private equity investment lifecycle to support acquisitions, shareholder and holding company funding arrangements, refinancing transactions and the ongoing financing requirements of portfolio companies.

Listing these securities on a recognised stock exchange may support issuers seeking to access the UK and Irish Quoted Eurobond Exemptions, together with other applicable regulatory and tax frameworks in relevant jurisdictions.

QIBM provides issuers with a cost-effective and efficient listing framework, supported by streamlined admission requirements, proportionate continuing obligations and responsive, commercially focused support from an experienced listing team.
