OTCEI and the Venture Capital Industry: Synergies

OTCEI offers an exit route for venture capital and private equity funds

Threshold listing requirements on OTCEI are ideally suited for VCF disinvestments

Provide greater visibility for companies through the Exchange

Enhance portfolio liquidity through the Unlisted Securities segment.



An exit opportunity!

With its advanced trading systems and market friendly trading procedures, OTCEI presents an excellent opportunity to venture capitalists and private equity funds to generate appreciable returns by offloading their holdings. This provides these institutions an assured exit for their investments. With new opportunities opening up in sectors such as information technology, it assumes greater significance for OTCEI and the venture capital industry to join forces and promote a common objective i.e. to encourage and promote listings of innovative and high growth enterprises.

Although the preferred route for an exit can be through the IPO mechanism on OTCEI, the Exchange would soon be launching the unlisted securities market. The market structure would be such that venture capitalists would have an attractive alternative market to offload their holdings to a wide range of financial intermediaries. This segment can act as a prelude to a full listing on the Exchange thereby ensuring higher subscription in the IPO.

With a professional team and offices at the major metros, OTCEI can deliver quality and efficient services.
