JSE issues apology for the incorrect meta description on broker search

JSE Limited (“JSE) was alerted to an incorrect meta description automatically generated by search engines when searches relating to the JSE in relation to company information is performed. This resulted in the JSE’s awareness campaign relating to a cautionary pop-up on the JSE website regarding investment scams being displayed in search results.

The JSE has implemented technical measures to remedy the incorrect description.

We sincerely apologise for the error and in the event that you require any further information in respect of the remedial actions implemented or the JSE to clarify the incorrect search results, please contact [email protected].

List on the JSE’s Main Board if you have a well-established company and want to raise equity to grow your business exponentially. 

The Main Board is where you will find the JSE’s Top 40 stocks, as well as securities like exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and warrants.

Almost a fifth of the companies on the JSE’s Main Board are dual listed. If a company’s primary listing is on the JSE , the company is regulated by the JSE. If a company has a secondary listing on the JSE, the company is regulated by its primary listing destination.

Companies have secondary listings to enable them to raise capital in markets other than the market opened up by their primary listing.

To list on the JSE’s Main Board, a company must have a sponsor. All interaction with the JSE takes place through the company’s sponsor.

Any JSE-listed company also needs to appoint a JSE-approved auditor and legal advisors with experience in capital markets.

Routes to market

The JSE offers companies and products through various routes to market. These include fast tracking, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), exchange-traded products (ETPs), sponsored and unsponsored depository receipts, and the listing of new and existing broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) share schemes on a registered exchange.
