Stock Universe

• As a stock trader on the ShareMark exchange, you can invest in small companies from across all sectors, most of which are based in the United Kingdom.
  
  

Stock Pricing

• ShareMark's ability to offer stock at a single price helps to address the problem of wide bid/ask spreads caused by low demand for unlisted stocks. Investors do not have to trade blind, which has always been an issue when dealing in unlisted companies.
  
  

Placing a Trade

• Trading takes place on an electronic auction market, which brings together buyers and sellers at a single price. This, too, eliminates bid/ask spreads on stocks that are traded on the ShareMark exchange. Auctions are scheduled based on the needs of the company and the demand by traders for a particular stock.
  
  

Advantage for Advisers

• Financial advisers can use their knowledge of the ShareMark exchange to provide their clients with another alternative for deploying their funds.
  
  

Buy and Sell Order Flow

• The exchange's buy and sell order flow begins when an order is submitted by a certified stock broker. The order can be updated or removed until the preset auction time. Traders can place a limit price on their buy and sell orders. The auction begins when orders are in place, and a fair price is generated.
