Aquis Exchange PLC (AIM:AQX) said shares in companies listed on its APEX segment are now available to trade on the Hargreaves Lansdown PLC (LSE:HL.) online investment platform.
Hargreaves operates the UK’s number one platform for private investors, with share dealing averaging 45,000 deals per day in the latest quarter.
The AQSE Growth Market is for unlisted securities, with the market divided into two segments, with Apex for larger, more established companies and Access for smaller companies at an earlier stage in their development.
Aquis chief executive Alasdair Haynes said: “I am very pleased that Hargreaves Lansdown is now including certain AQSE shares for electronic trading on its platform.
“I know that there is much client demand for this and we are looking forward to the scheme being extended to cover many more AQSE stocks as soon as possible. It is vital for the public to be able to access the shares quoted on the UK’s two stock exchanges easily, efficiently and, crucially, on an equal footing as each other.”
HL's head of trading, Tom Lee, said offering APEX stocks online “reflects our ambitions to redefine the savings and investing experience for investors”.
