Alternext is a tailor-made market for small and mid caps

The creation of Alternext is yet another sign that Euronext is committed to helping small and midsized companies gain access to the stock market. Alternext is a key component of Euronext's programme for small and mid cap stocks, which began with the formation of a single list, Eurolist by Euronext, the introduction of a new range of special indices, and the creation of Small & MidCap Experts.

• Tailor-made for small and mid caps
  Alternext's listing requirements and operating methods have been tailored to the needs and aspirations of small and midsized companies, regardless of the sector in which they operate. These companies choose an Alternext listing because it is the best way for them to achieve their goals.
  
  
  
• Meeting investor transparency requirements
  Alternext not only gives investors new investment opportunities; it provides them with assurances in terms of regulation and transparency to ensure their protection and security. Furthermore, Alternext-admitted companies commit to meeting the market's disclosure and transparency requirements.
  
  
  
• Liquidity-enhancing trading mechanisms
