A reality check on international listings

This report, published in partnership with HSBC Global Research, identified 130 European companies that have ‘moved’ to the US stock market over the past decade and analyses why they moved, what they have in common, and what happened next. 

While Europe cannot afford to be complacent, talk of an ‘exodus’ is overblown and the grass is not always greener in the US.  There are bigger problems closer to home - and there is an urgent need for reform to make European equity markets more attractive and more dynamic for investors and issuers alike.

Confirmed speakers at the event include the following, with more to be announced:

• Carly Burrows - Managing director; head of corporate finance, HSBC

• Adam Kostyál - President, Nasdaq Stockholm; head of listings - Europe, Nasdaq

We expect participants to be a combination of policy specialists and frontline market participants from exchanges, investment banks, asset managers, and EU policy makers.
