On July 24, 2013, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) welcomed the broker Plus500 (regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK), which marks the admission of this company on the AIM market, which means that the company’s shares can now be bought and sold in this market, one of the most important worldwide.
Plus500 offers its customers (mainly individual traders) the ability to trade stocks, Forex, indices, ETFs, commodities and other assets through Contracts For Difference (CFD) and currently is one of the main CFD providers worldwide. The company managed to raise a total of $75 million at a starting price of 115 pence in the opening which gave Plus500 a market capitalization of about $200 million on admission.
