What is Alternativa aktiemarknaden?

Alternativa aktiemarknaden (the Alternative stockmarket) is a meeting place for business angels and other investors with the main business to organise trading in small and medium sized companies. We list companies with an existing ownership distribution and match buyers' and sellers' bids and offers. Alternativa aktiemarknaden is formally a securities institution under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.

Trading on Alternativa aktiemarknaden is conducted on certain predetermined days, at the most once a month. The size and ownership of the companies makes continuous pricing unsuitable, so the price is determined by an auction model, alternatively by a special Market advisory committee. On each trading day, the stock is traded at one price. In between the monthly trading periods, larger trades are matched if buyers and sellers show interest. The price may then differ from the last paid price.

Alternativa was established in 2003 and the share is since December 2006 traded at Alternativas own list.

Late 2006 Alternativa started, together with Swedish and French investors, a company in Paris with the purpose to set up a similar business in France. In June 2007 Alternativa France got a licence from the French financial authorities and the business is up and running since December 10, 2007.
