The iX is a powerful tool for facilitating the flow of investment capital to high impact initiatives. Taking its cue from the founding purpose of stock exchanges, the iX provides a platform that makes visible and transparent the potential risks and rewards associated with long term wealth creation investment opportunities. Importantly it provides protection not only for investors but also for listed initiatives, including, for the first time, protection of their impact purpose.
The iX is suitable for social businesses or funds looking to raise publicly listed debt or equity of at least US$700k to assist with long-term growth and expansion. However the iX is not only suitable for large companies and iX listed companies do not have to be profitable on listing. The value of the iX lies in its commitment to all actors in the impact capital market and rests in the potential it provides to coordinate information, build intermediary activity and analyst coverage of impact investments, ensure visibility and market access for listed initiatives and build the ongoing long term potential for more capital to flow to impact.
With world class rules and regulations and efficient trading, clearing and settlement systems that promote the principles of market integrity, investor protection and efficient price discovery, the iX adds mission protection for impact purpose initiatives. Multi-currency trading and settlement abilities in USD, Euro or GBP reduces risk to investors and SEM’s live presence on all major international data vendors including Bloomberg, Thompson Reuters, Financials Times, Factset and Inet Bridge provides access to the global capital markets for all listed companies.
