About NZX

NZX’s business is founded on the belief that a healthy capital market infrastructure is essential for the economic well-being of this country.

We are passionate about markets and business, and about ensuring we serve our market participants and New Zealand investors, to achieve economic wealth and well-being.

As New Zealand’s markets strengthen, companies will increasingly recognise the benefits of listing and investors will see the benefits of having a share of these companies in their own asset base.

This principle has driven NZX’s performance since its inception and will continue to drive growth – both of our own company and the markets we serve.

In doing so, NZX will continue to unlock the value of New Zealand’s capital markets, for investors and shareholders alike.

Our role in this regard is quite simple:

• We are the frontline market regulator, ensuring an equal playing field for all listed companies and market participants and setting the standard in terms of ethics and integrity.
  
  
• We are the market advocate, ensuring the structure and operation of the markets are such that companies want to list and people want to invest. We are a promoter of education and knowledge, ensuring the future of New Zealand’s markets.
  
  
• We are the market infrastructure and technology provider, with a fully electronic trading, clearing and settlement system that facilitates trading nationwide. We aim to ensure this technology continues to facilitate liquid markets.
  
  
• We are a product and service provider, not only of savings and investment products, ensuring investing in the markets is more accessible for more New Zealanders, but also of technology products and services that brokers and listed companies use on a daily basis. NZX holds a firm conviction that New Zealand’s capital markets have much more room to develop and improve. NZX’s assets – our people, our brand and our technology – are dedicated to this development and to capturing value from it.
