THIS IS AN ADVERTISING PROMOTION

PrimaryBid believes it’s time that you get the same access to public market offers as institutional investors. That’s why it built its platform with the aim of providing better, fairer and completely free access to public market investments that aren’t typically available.

WHAT PRIMARYBID DOES

Backed by the London Stock Exchange, PrimaryBid sits at the heart of the financial ecosystem and enables retail investors and public companies to seamlessly interact during fundraises. On its platform, individuals can invest in initial public offerings (IPO), follow-ons, investment trusts, bonds and other deals.

What’s more, with quick and easy access to public companies raising capital, individuals can invest in these offers at the same time and at the same price as institutional investors.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Public markets were created to allow everyone to invest in and own companies they believe in. Yet the public has been missing out on valuable share offers for decades. Until recently, the technology was simply not available to enable retail inclusion at scale.

PrimaryBid is changing that. It has created a platform to make sure public markets are inclusive, transparent and fair ? as they were always meant to be. In turn, PrimaryBid has provided individuals with access to more than 200 transactions on behalf of small and large-cap companies in the UK‘s FTSE and AIM indices ? including Croda (CRDA), Ocado (OCDO), Taylor Wimpey (TW.), Aston Martin (AML) and Severn Trent (SVT).

Both individual investors and public companies stand to benefit when capital markets are accessible to all. The good news is that the pressure is mounting from government and regulators to address the lack of retail inclusion in public markets, and a growing number of issuers are opening up their fundraisings to individual investors.

PrimaryBid is at the forefront of this inclusion agenda ? building innovative technology solutions to improve market access and facilitating wider participation in the ownership of public companies.
