Range of products for international companies
There are three principal ways you can raise capital on the London Stock Exchange – equity, depositary receipts and debt.
Shares
Internationally-based companies can apply for a primary listing in London; or if already listed on their own domestic market, can apply for a dual primary or secondary listing. Shares can be traded in over 20 global currencies.
Depositary Receipts
Depositary Receipts (DRs) are negotiable certificates which represent ownership of a given number of a company’s shares which can be listed and traded independently from the underlying shares. There are a number of forms of DRs including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), Euro Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Retail Depositary Receipts (RDRs) – all of which can be listed in London.
Specialist securities
As well as shares and DRs, companies can list debt instruments on the Main Market. These range from simple eurobonds and credit-linked notes to complex asset-backed issues, high yield bonds and convertible /exchangeable bonds.
