Spread-betting group joins IEX

IRISH financial spread-betting group, WorldSpreads, has announced that it will begin trading on Dublin’s IEX market next month.

The shares will begin trading on Dublin’s secondary exchange on May 15. The company floated on London’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) last August.

WorldSpreads Group chief executive Conor Foley said: “The decision to list our shares on the IEX market is a logical progression from the flotation on AIM last year. A listing on IEX is likely to enhance liquidity in WorldSpreads’ shares and make the shares more attractive to Irish institutional and retail investors.”
