Call NowUpCom Stock Exchange is the trading platform for public companies not yet listed. UpCom operates at the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX). UpCom is a supervised stock exchange, contributing to reducing risks and protecting investor rights. Through UpCom, investors can access information about companies through the disclosure system of the Hanoi Stock Exchange. Trading shares through the HNX trading system is also easier and safer for both buyers and sellers.
Currently, there are 2 main criteria for registering on the UpCom stock exchange:
- The company must be a public company and must not be listed on HOSE and HNX.
- Securities must be registered for deposit at the Vietnam Securities Depository.
Listing shares on the UpCom stock exchange will be advantageous for companies looking to list on the HNX or HOSE in the future, enhancing accessibility for investors.
Some limitations when trading on this platform:
- UpCom has lower transparency standards compared to HNX and HOSE.
- Large price fluctuations of ±15% (HOSE: ±7%; HNX: ±10%), making it more suitable for speculation.
- Low liquidity.
- Due to higher risk, there are limitations; however, the higher risk often results in lower stock prices, attracting many enterprises.
