Alternext Welcomes Five New Listing Sponsors

Euronext today announced five new listing sponsors for Alternext. Their arrival underscores the market’s appeal for intermediaries, which in turn play an active role in its expansion by serving as expert advisers to SMEs.

Crédit du Nord, Euroland Finance, Grant Thornton, Ixis Midcaps and Portzamparc Société de Bourse are thus joining the initial pool of listing sponsors made up of Arkeon Finance, Avenir Finance Corporate, CM-CIC Securities, EFI, Oddo Corporate Finance, Société Générale and Sodica. The five new arrivals raise the total number of entities with official listing sponsor status to 12.

Alternext, an exchange-regulated market with more flexible conditions offers euro-zone SMEs in all business sectors simplified access to capital markets while respecting investors’ need for transparency and reliable information.
