London stock exchange-LSE

 The London stock exchange is obviously one of the largest financial centers in the world, as it has a very ancient history. Officially, it was founded in 1801, but in fact, it operated several centuries earlier (to be more precise, the first sales began in 1570). The king's financial adviser, whose name was Thomas Gresham, built the exchange on his own, investing his own finances in its creation.
LSE sells its own shares, which is quite an important fact for a trader.

All shares that are sold and bought here are divided into several types, which we will take a closer look at right now.

Standard market. Not all companies are allowed to trade here, but only those that meet the criteria that have been developed by the UK financial regulatory authority.

Alternative. There are no terrible criteria, as in the previous paragraph. An alternative market exists for those companies that have just emerged from startups and offer a variety of innovations that should be tested for practical applicability in the future. Therefore, they are not allowed to enter the standard market.

It is considered that the LSE is the most "international" (so to speak) of all exchanges. The reason for this is simple – about half of all shares that are sold and bought there are foreign. So, in 2004, there were about 340 foreign enterprises from 60 countries. The total volume of trading in monetary terms was more than two thousand billion dollars.

Main task

The London stock exchange has several important tasks ahead of it. First of all, it is the management of the securities market in the UK and indirectly in other countries. The following tasks are also highlighted:

Defining a listing in the UK. Who doesn't know, listing is the inclusion of securities in the register of assets that can be traded on the stock exchange. Listing is a separate procedure that has its own stages. Stocks, bonds, and other Central banks must meet certain criteria before they are allowed into circulation. And what parameters should be taken into account is determined by the LSE.
Management of foreign equities.
Definition of the FTSE stock index, which shows the state of the British market at the moment.
Ensuring stable and large-scale capital raising.

In order for the quotation to be received and the security to be included in the LSE list, the company must provide full information about its business and management activities, and it must meet the following criteria:

Capitalization should be at least 700 thousand pounds. In other words, the company must be large.
The turnover of shares should be free, and no restrictions should be imposed.
At least a quarter of the shareholders are not Directors of the company.
Shareholders must not have more than 30 percent of the vote.

Thus, the LSE is a serious player, and if the company grows to the level to issue its shares in this market, this indicates its great success. For a trader, this means that they can earn more from companies that are listed on the LSE.
