Local institutional investors account for 38% of daily turnover, Polish individual investors 15% and foreign institutional investors 47%.
As part of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the New Connect (http://www.newconnect.pl) is one of the markets, equivalent to the Greek EN.A market, where 429 companies are listed (Feb 2015), of which 10 are foreign. The daily turnover value ranges between approximately € 1 million to 4 million € and the total capitalization reaches the 2.18 billion €.
In the framework of the New Connect, private investors are mainly active, who account for 69% of the total daily turnover. The local institutional investors account for 24% and foreign investors 7% respectively.
Warsaw Stock Exchange organizes, on a monthly basis an "IPO Day", in which Polish companies that are interested to list their shares, are presented to the investment community. In this way, even before the bureaucratic process of preparing their listing takes place, an initial feedback regarding the intrinsic value of such a step can be acquired, from the local investment community.
A relevant strategy is also being organized by our company, under the title “Mediterranean Day”, twice per year, in cooperation with the Management of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
