Great news for BlueMount Capital client Whisky Development Syndicate, with brands the Company holds recently winning some amazing awards for whisky.

Private equity (PE) often reigns supreme in the high-return investment market. Dr Vladimir Malenko wrote :“In the time of volatile interest rates, doubtful and inconsistent performance of hedge funds, and increasing popularity of index tracking funds (rather than actively managed ones), the astute investors flock to private capital placement opportunities.” DR SALIBA SASSINE explores.(https://www.islamicfinancenews.com/a-newinvestmentscheme-that-can-destroy-shariah-compliant-private-equity.html)

How Does a Stock Move from the OTC to a Major Exchange?
There are many reasons why a company may trade on the Over the Counter (OTC), which unlike a standard exchange, has no physical location, but it’s not an option that provides much exposure or even a lot of liquidity. Trading on a major exchange, though, does. But is there a way for companies to move from one to the other?
Key Takeaways
- OTC securities are not listed on an exchange, but trade through a broker-dealer network.
- Companies can jump from the OTC market to a major exchange as long as they meet listing and regulatory requirements, which vary by exchange.
- Exchanges must approve a company’s application to list, which should be accompanied by financial statements.
- Some companies choose to move to get the visibility and liquidity provided by a stock exchange.
- Dual listing ,by staying on the OTC and dual listing on a major exchange is a great option and is possible.
