Discover why a listing is the best way to raise capital from investors who care about liquidity and transparency

Get the Best Valuation from Investors who are Looking for Liquidity and Transparency

Investors managing nearly CHF 100 trillion in public capital demand the highest standards of liquidity and transparency for their investments. Unlike venture capitalists and private equity firms, these investors do not have insider knowledge about your company. Therefore, they want to be able to sell their positions quickly at market price and be promptly informed about price-sensitive events. If your company has lower liquidity or transparency, these investors may significantly undervalue it or even exclude it from their investment portfolios altogether.

With a listing, you can raise capital from liquidity- and transparency-oriented investors under optimal conditions, with the following benefits for your company:

A listing further strengthens the credibility of your company. It shows commitment to regulatory oversight, corporate governance and transparency, and ultimately strengthens credibility and trust in you as an employer, business partner, and investment.

What is more, a listing also increases your brand awareness. By being listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, you increase your visibility across the market. Our listed companies benefit from broad media and research coverage, meaning clients, employees, and investors have greater insight into your company and can therefore take educated decisions on any investments they make in your organization.

 

Experienced private investors such as VCs are any scale-up’s first choice to raise capital. But as a founder I need to make sure that our company can optimally raise capital from any investor. Many investors care a lot about liquidity and transparency. This is why it is important that we have the IPO option available to us – an IPO maximizes liquidity and ensures transparency
