Why TISE?

TISE stands out from the crowd because of our culture of responsiveness and innovation

We stand out from the crowd as a leading international stock exchange because of our culture of responsiveness and innovation.

This places us in the best possible position to provide public and private companies with first class financial markets and securities services.

Our regulated marketplace is home to one of Europe’s leading professional bond markets, the second largest market for UK Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and a comprehensive sustainable finance segment. In 2023, we launched a new, innovative offering for the private markets.

We provide both public and private companies with a high-quality product and service offering.

Our Strengths

Issuers choose to list and trade securities on TISE because the products and services are provided in a responsive and innovative environment, which is evidenced through a number of ‘world first’ transactions, pioneering issuances and other more unique deals coming to our market.

Responsive Approach
We have a knowledgeable team which facilitates listings daily in-line with our TISE Guarantee to provide initial reviews of applications within 3 business days and all subsequent reviews within 1 business day.

Innovative Environment
Being agile, dynamic and open-minded means that we can quickly consider and introduce new products and services and as a result, a number of ‘world first’ transactions have come to our market.

Straightforward Process
There is a simple listing process where issuers are assisted by our experienced Members (acting as Listing Agents / Sponsors) who will complete the listing application through MyTISE, our online member services portal.

Competitive Pricing
TISE fees are highly competitive, representing great value. Listing fees offer the the certainty of being set by product type, rather than varying by market capitalisation, and there are Lifetime Fee options available for some bonds.

Proportionate Rules
We have distinct rulebooks for bonds, equities and trading, with each proportionate to the products and investors, and independent of UK and EU directives and regulations, which do not apply unless applied voluntarily.

Premier Locations
With staff operating across Dublin, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Jersey and London, we are well-connected while also offering the advantage of a regulated market based outside both the UK and EU.

Global Standards
Our market authority regulates the marketplace to recognised global standards which are applied in a proportionate manner that seeks to balance the interests of all market participants.
