Main board listing at ASX

ASX offers access to the full breadth of investors from retail to global institutions on a single main board. Small and mid-cap companies limited to junior board listings on other exchanges can experience restricted institutional participation.

Early stage index inclusion

Joining globally recognised S&P indices, such as the S&P/ASX 300 and S&P/ASX 200, can substantially increase visibility, capital and global investment interest. As at April 2023, entry to the S&P/ASX 300 was gained at US$266m free float-adjusted market capitalisation versus US$12.7b for the S&P 500.

Overcome home market constraints

An ASX listing can overcome local constraints such as: smaller public markets, investor risk profile or more limited listed peer groups for growth companies. A dual listing provides your company with access to liquidity and investors in both your home market and on ASX.

Get attention sooner

Large home markets can mean that earlier-stage companies, with $5 billion market capitalisation or less, can struggle to attract investor attention. ASX can provide access to capital and global indices, competitive valuations and serve as a springboard into your home market.
