Launch of VSA Capital AQSE Apex Index

VSA Capital Group plc, an international investment banking and broking firm, with offices in London and Shanghai, is pleased to announce that in partnership with the Aquis Stock Exchange ("AQSE"), the Company has launched an index of stocks listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market ("AQSE Growth Market").

The Index incorporates all of the 21 equities within the Apex segment of the AQSE Growth Market and will be weighted by market capitalisation. It will be known as the VSA Capital AQSE Apex Index ("the Index"). The Index will be routinely updated to incorporate new additions and the details of the Index construction and rebalancing can be found on the VSA Capital website: https://vsacapital.com/vsa-capital-aqse-apex-index/ .

The VSA Capital AQSE Apex Index will help to raise the profile of the AQSE Growth Market and that of the constituent companies, improving transparency and becoming a reliable barometer of performance over time.

 Andrew Monk, CEO of VSA Capital Group plc said:

"We are delighted to launch the first index for the AQSE Growth Market. We are very supportive of AQSE and believe that it provides much need competition for both the Main and AIM markets of the London Stock Exchange."

Oliver O'Donnell, Head of Research at VSA Capital Group plc said:

"Valued at around £1bn, the total market cap of the starting constituents of the VSA Capital AQSE Apex Index represents a meaningful sum. This underappreciated fact alone highlights why we are launching the Index. Interest is growing in the AQSE from investors and companies alike, and we expect that over time we will be able to track more aspects of performance on the exchange, a sign of its continued development."
