4AX will make financial markets more inclusive by providing a safe and licensed platform that provides easier access, and more product variety to Issuers and Brokers. 4AX was founded in 2014 to establish a well-regulated exchange alternative to qualifying Issuers and the South African capital markets, with the aim of meeting the needs of Issuers and investors who are not served by current incumbent/s or whose needs may be better served through a different exchange model (which includes Listing Requirements and Exchange Rules which are tailored to meet the needs of the market 4AX wishes to service).
