ASX Data, 30 September 2024

Why do international companies list on ASX?

Australia: fifth largest pension pool globally

An attractive market for raising capital fuelled by a compulsory superannuation system. Assets are predicted to grow from A$3.8 trillion to over A$9 trillion by 2041*, with a substantial portion mandated for investment into ASX listed securities.

*12 month rolling average to December 2023 across ASX & Cboe 

Main board listing at ASX

ASX offers access to the full breadth of investors from retail to global institutions on a single main board. Small and mid-cap companies limited to junior board listings on other exchanges can experience restricted institutional participation.

Earlier index inclusion

Joining globally recognised S&P indices, such as the S&P/ASX 300 and S&P/ASX 200, can substantially increase visibility, liquidity and global investor interest.  Key indices can be accessed at an earlier stage than in many other major markets.

Overcome home market constraints

An ASX listing can overcome local constraints such as: smaller public markets, investor risk profile or more limited listed peer groups for growth companies. A dual listing provides your company with access to liquidity and investors in both your home market and on ASX.

Get attention sooner

Large home markets can mean that earlier-stage companies, with US$5 billion market capitalisation or less, can struggle to attract investor attention. ASX can provide access to capital and global indices, competitive valuations and serve as a springboard into your home market.
