The NYSE Welcomes 2019 as the Global Leader in ListingsThe New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE), extended its leadership as the premier venue for capital raising, finishing the year with $125 billion in proceeds raised from 356 transactions. In a year marked by elevated volatility in U.S. equity markets, NYSE issuers raised $30 billion in proceeds from 73 IPOs. The New York Stock Exchange was also the listing partner of choice for issuers seeking innovative ways to access the public markets without an IPO capital raise, including Spotify (News - Alert) (NYSE:SPOT) and Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL). As the home of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), NYSE Arca welcomed 179 ETFs in 2018, with $11.6 billion in assets under management (AUM), extending NYSE Arca's (News - Alert) leadership as the largest exchange for ETFs. NYSE Arca is now home to 71 percent of total listed ETFs, representing 80 percent of total ETF assets under management. "The New York Stock Exchange again demonstrated the superiority and durability of its market model during a volatile year, proving there is no better way for companies to raise capital, maximize value delivered to shareholders and engage with a global community of leaders than as part of the NYSE," said NYSE Group President, Stacey Cunningham. "Our track record speaks volumes, and we are honored to have played a role in supporting a diverse group of industry and technology entrepreneurs as their companies debuted on the public market, helping to change the world through innovation and job creation." With leadership across multiple sectors and regions, the NYSE maintained its top global exchange ranking last year, with industry leading performance in key areas:
The NYSE remains the only global exchange to offer a market model that combines state-of-the-art technology with human judgment and accountability to provide superior market quality for our listed companies, particularly during times of volatility. During these times of market stress, NYSE-listed companies traded with 45 percent lower volatility compared to companies listed on other U.S. exchanges - reducing costs for their investors. "Our mission remains the same today as it has for over two centuries: to help entrepreneurs and companies access capital to grow and expand their businesses and to provide opportunities for investors to participate in their success," said NYSE Group Chief Operating Officer and Global Head of Listings, John Tuttle. "We look forward to driving economic growth and helping more companies from around the world realize the benefits of joining the public markets so that they can access capital and achieve their goals at the NYSE."
