Our debt markets at a glance

• Main Market is London Stock Exchange’s Regulated Market, with disclosure rules aligned to Prospectus Regulation. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) approves Prospectuses for admission to the Main Market. As a Regulated Market, securities admitted to other Regulated Markets can be passported onto the Main Market. LSEG works closely with the FCA and key advisers on deals to provide an efficient listing process that best suits the needs of issuers.
• International Securities Market (ISM) is LSEG’s Exchange Regulated Market and operates as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) under UK law. ISM operates under its own Rulebook, which provides for tailored Admission and Disclosure requirements. ISM’s dedicated and knowledgeable Primary Markets Regulation team is responsible for reviewing Admission Particulars and assessing the eligibility of issuers and their securities for admission to ISM.

Both markets offer an efficient and convenient listing process. The table below explains in more detail the differences between the markets.
