For over 30 years, the Malta Stock Exchange has successfully fulfilled its role as an effective venue to raise capital finance. The Exchange provides a structure for admission of financial instruments to its recognised lists which may subsequently be traded on a regulated, transparent and orderly secondary market place. Located in a well-regulated, cost-efficient and reputable jurisdiction, the Malta Stock Exchange also offers a comprehensive range of back–office services including maintenance of share and bond registers, clearing and settlement and custody services through its in-house Central Securities Depository. The Exchange enjoys international accessibility on both fronts, through its relationship with Clearstream Banking in Frankfurt, Germany and in Luxembourg, and the use of the XETRA trading platform, operated by Deutsche Bourse in Frankfurt. Access to the market may be achieved through admission to listing on the Regulated Main Market, or the Institutional Financial Securities Market, both of which are regulated by the MFSA and enjoy full passportability within the EU, or through admission to the SME-oriented Prospects MTF , that is regulated by the Malta Stock Exchange. The Exchange offers a personalized, professional, swift and cost-effective solution to companies seeking a listing in an EU jurisdiction, register administration or depository and custodial services.
