PrimaryBid

We held a fantastic roundtable today with Callum Anderson MP, Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, where we discussed how the government can support innovative homegrown companies not only starting up but scaling up in the UK. Thank you to PrimaryBid for kindly hosting the roundtable, and those who attended. We look forward to continued engagement and collaboration. #TheCityUK

🔔 Nyhet! Nordnet Bank AB og PrimaryBid samarbeider for å åpne døren til rettede emisjoner for mindre norske investorer. De siste årene har over 80 prosent av kapitalen som er hentet i det norske markedet kommet gjennom rettede emisjoner, noe som i praksis har ført til at kun et utvalg investorer har hatt muligheten til å delta. Dette vil Nordnet og PrimaryBid rette opp i ved å gi mindre investorer en bedre mulighet til å delta i rettede emisjoner. Med den nye løsningen får mindre investorer muligheten til å tegne seg for aksjer via Nordnet i en egen transje tilrettelagt for privatpersoner. Nordnets kunder står allerede for en betydelig andel av omsetningen i annenhåndsmarkedet på Euronext Oslo Børs, og nå åpner vi enda flere muligheter for dem. Dette er helt i tråd med Nordnet sin målsetning om å demokratisere spare- og investeringsmarkedet og vil være positivt for alle aktører i markedet Dette samarbeidet markerer også Nordnets første steg i retning av å tilby denne muligheten i hele Norden. Sammen med PrimaryBid skaper vi nye finansieringsmuligheter som vil komme både investorer og selskaper til gode. Denne utviklingen støtter opp under EU Listing Act, som snart trer i kraft og vil gjøre det enda enklere for privatinvestorer å delta i kapitalmarkedene.🌍💪 Vi ser frem til å tilby denne løsningen og til å bidra til økt deltakelse i det norske og nordiske kapitalmarkedet! 🙌 Les mer om samarbeidet: https://lnkd.in/dKpUTUnW A big thank you for the collaboration so far François De Wiljes and Eirik Høiby Ausland and to the great team at Nordnet Marcus Gangnor Edward Neptune Eivind Johannesen among others for making this possible! Looking forward to the first deal! #nordnet #oslobørs #emisjoner #investering #aksjer

📣 Last Thursday, the PrimaryBid team was thrilled to host Alan Burr, Tracy Vegro OBE, George Littlejohn, Neil Brown, and members of The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) Fixed Income and Bond Forum for a collaborative event with the LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group). It was fantastic to join a panel moderated by the exceptional Stacey Parsons, Head of Fixed Income at PrimaryBid, which featured industry experts, including Nick Dilworth, Head of Compliance and Risk at PrimaryBid and Elena Chimonides, Senior Fixed Income Product Manager at LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group). Together, we explored the modernisation of UK capital markets, particularly in enhancing investor access to bonds through lower denominations. We extend our thanks to Victoria McTaggart from the Financial Conduct Authority for her written statement to The CISI members, outlining the FCA's intent to consult on this topic in Q1 2025. The discussion also spotlighted PrimaryBid’s proprietary technology, which is advancing retail investor access to the equity capital market. Flagship products like PrimaryBid Connect and Alloc8 support our partners by providing essential information and tools to facilitate educated and informed investment decisions. If you’re curious about PrimaryBid’s latest initiatives, feel free to reach out to me or anyone on the PrimaryBid team!

🚀 Starting today, BUX investors in the Netherlands and Belgium can now participate in IPOs — a significant step forward for retail investors across Europe. We’re proud to be the first pan-European partner to adopt PrimaryBid’s innovative platform, giving our investors access to IPOs and regulated fundraises, including opportunities that were previously available only to institutional investors. This is just the beginning of greater access and inclusion for retail investors #BUX #IPO #PrimaryBid

If your company is looking to go public, we just made it easier to offer shares to potential investors. SoFi has teamed up with PrimaryBid to launch DSP2.0, a tech-forward Directed Share Program solution that helps companies with U.S. IPOs and capital raises while the tech does the heavy lifting. “For decades, companies have wanted to offer the opportunity to participate in their IPOs to the employees, partners, customers, and others who helped them grow,” said Anthony Noto, CEO of SoFi. “Unfortunately, traditional DSPs often have high account minimum requirements, carry significant costs to companies, and lack benefits to underwriters, limiting their appeal. SoFi now offers companies going public a turnkey, 100% digital way to offer IPO shares to employees and other people who helped build their business, and whomever else they want to direct the shares to, whether it’s to 10 or 10,000 people. People can open a SoFi account from a smartphone in seconds, transfer money seamlessly, and stay informed throughout the IPO process – with no account fees, trading costs, or minimum deposit requirements.” “It's vital to see innovation in the ways companies engage stakeholders when going public, and the market will welcome new technologies that modernize the IPO process as policymakers look to broaden investor participation,” said John Tuttle, former Vice Chairman for NYSE Group and expert on U.S. capital markets policy.
