Financial Times names TISE as a 'Reinvention Champion'

Friday 15 November 2024

The Financial Times has named The International Stock Exchange among its Reinvention Champions for 2024.

TISE came top in the Banking and Finance category, recognising the company's specialism in listing international bonds and its pivot to deliver an innovative offering for the private markets.

A panel judged nominations made by Financial Times readers and journalists who were invited to nominate companies that had reinvented themselves in some way.

As the winner of the Banking and Finance category, TISE is the subject of a Reinvention Champions profile written by the FT’s Deputy Markets News Editor, Laurence Fletcher.

TISE has for many years specialised in providing a listing venue for corporate debt, before last year launching TISE Private Markets which sought to capitalise on a global drought in initial public offerings as companies chose to stay private for longer.

TISE Private Markets also allows companies to run auctions in their own shares, without the need for a broker, and maintain control over who can and cannot buy its shares.

Cees Vermaas, CEO of TISE, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive this accolade as an FT Reinvention Champion.

"Being nominated by FT readers and journalists was hugely rewarding but to be selected by the judges alongside other major companies as a category winner is a huge endorsement of our strategy.

"They recognise our position as a major European bond market but that we’ve launched an innovative offering to capitalise on the opportunities for servicing the growing private markets.”
