ARIR - Romanian Investor Relations Association’s Post

After a remarkable transition of the SIX with the acquisition of BME | Bolsas y Mercados Españoles, Jos Dijsselhof hands over the reins of a very different SIX to Bjørn Sibbern. I wish Jos every success in the future and am intrigued to hear of his new Middle Eastern appointment. At the same time, SiX is now in fabulous hands, I believe Bjørn will drive the company forward more dynamically than ever. This past week alone a Spanish property trading platform has seen a significant investment while earlier in the month the deal to acquire Aquis adds further huge additional potential to the SIX enterprise. Incidentally, Bjørn was our guest on IPO-VID 151: SIX: The Swiss Paradigm (https://lnkd.in/eMEGVE2W) and prior to that on IPO-VID 005: The View from Nasdaq's European HQ (https://lnkd.in/eqajKURr). Good luck to both Jos and Bjørn as they step boldly into their next chapters! #Leadership #Exchanges #SIXGroup #CapitalMarkets #Innovation

[#PEI Milan] 🙏 Many thanks to Private Equity Insights for giving us the opportunity to be part of the 2024 edition in Milan! This event was a great opportunity for us to connect with other industry leaders and investors and provided valuable insights and learnings from the PE landscape in 2024 and beyond🚀 ➡️ Stefano Zavattaro, Partner & Head of Italy at CAPZA, was invited to share his vision on “exit strategies in 2024” Stefano believes that the right conditions are gathering to support a strong year for exits in #Italy: a significant backlog of deals on one side, accumulated dry powder on the other side, improving financing conditions and relatively stable multiples. This is particularly true for the mid-market segment and for PE-backed and family-owned companies alike, both looking to finance a new phase of growth. Additionally, CAPZA expects to benefit from this trend thanks to a very flexible mandate, its ability to support ambitious management teams in international expansion programs as well as in M&A. #PrivateEquityInsights #PrivateEquity #Conference

Did you know that Sweden has nearly 5 times more listed companies than Denmark? 🇩🇰 Denmark - 197 Listed Companies 🇸🇪 Sweden - 956 Listed Companies Sweden’s robust growth markets like First North and Spotlight support a vibrant ecosystem of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This creates more opportunities for investors and fuels innovation and economic growth. The Association of Listed Danish Growth Companies is working hard to support the attractiveness of IPOs in Denmark and I hope their hard work will pay off with more listings in the next 12 months🔔 #Finance #Investing #StockMarket #EconomicGrowth

📉 Record Delistings at the Tokyo Stock Exchange The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is set to delist 94 companies this year, marking the highest number since 2013 and resulting in the first-ever decrease in the total number of companies on the market. 🏦 This year, only about 80 new companies will debut, reflecting a sluggish Growth market. 📈 The TSE and investors emphasize higher business quality, aiming to attract more international investment 🌍. 🇺🇸📉 This trend isn't unique to #Japan. The number of listed companies in Europe and the #US is also declining. According to The World Federation of Exchanges, the U.S. had just over 4,000 listed companies at the end of September, down approximately 40% (about 2,800 companies) since 2000. #Europe’s numbers stand at around 8,000, half of what they were at their peak in 2011. 💰 Listing has become less appealing as costs rise and private markets offer easier fundraising options. The TSE’s strategy now focuses on quality over quantity of listed companies. 🌟
