The
London
Stock Exchange - LSE
UK
Stock Exchange
A Brief History of The London
Stock Exchange
With its
formal creation in 1801 the
London
Stock Exchange (LSE)
is among the first of the modern stock
exchanges as we know them today but with the history of its
origins traces back for more
than 300 years, the LSE is the one of the oldest of
the worlds leading financial
markets.
From its early origins in the informal dealings within London's coffee
houses to a market capitalization
of $3597bn (Stats from the World
Federation of Exchanges, Oct 2010), the LSE
is now the Fourth largest stock market in the world with an average of
GBP5bn worth of shares being traded every single business
day (2009 daily
average).
Based in the City of
London, the exchange replaced its governing
council with a new board of directors in 1991 and became a public limited company in
2000.
The LSE merged with Borsa
Italiana in 2007 creating the London Stock Exchange
Group
in its attempts to fight off unwelcome take over bids, including one by
the Nasdaq,
who built up a 30% stake in the British stock exchange, but ultimately
the bid failed.
Offering
an equities share market for more than 3000 companies worldwide, the Groups Exchanges provide trading
facilities for its 500+ members in a wide range of financial markets
including trading services for the largest range of ETFs and ETCs
products available.

important function of the stock
