Listing on a stock exchange distinguishes a fund from its unlisted competitors. It signifies a higher standard of diligence and transparency. It holds a fund to scrutiny and therefore demands greater dedication to the professional conduct of its business.
Listing can also bring certain regulatory and institutional benefits such as access to a wider range of eligible investors. For example, a listing with GSX exposes a fund to professional, institutional, and retail investors both local and international that may only invest in listed companies or financial vehicles.
The Gibraltar Stock Exchange’s Main Market is also recognised by HMRC under the Income Tax Act 2007. Securities listed on the Main Market are eligible for the UK SIPPs and ISAs market.
