Banking was one of the most popular reasons people used the internet in 2014-15 – and that trend is expected to fuel growth in the number of people buying and selling shares over the internet, according to Ben Bucknell, chief executive of OnMarket BookBuilds (OMB).

Some of the most impressive equity returns in Australia have been gained from investing in ASX Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and equity placements rather than established indices or so-called ‘blue-chip’ shares, says Ben Bucknell, chief executive of OnMarket BookBuilds (OMB), an Australian fintech behind OnMarket, an innovative online investment access portal that gives all investors direct access to ASX IPOs.

OnMarket BookBuilds (OMB), the creator of the world’s first online portal giving investors free and fair access to IPOs and equity placements, has teamed up with WYZA, a digital publishing firm that connects people 50+ directly with the products, services and information they want, including finance and equity investments. 

From today, Australian investors will have fair and free access to IPOs and placements via a new digital gateway called OnMarket. Launching today, OnMarket is a mobile app and website developed by OnMarket BookBuilds (OMB) that gives all eligible investors, whether or not they have a broker, access to the same capital raising opportunities and on the same terms as institutional investors. The OnMarket technology gives all investors access to IPOs and placements, provides free third-party research on each offer, and guarantees fair allocations.

nabtrade has today announced its customers can access the ASX BookBuild facility, meaning they’ll have access to more initial public offerings (IPOs) and capital raisings.

nabtrade General Manager, Nathan Walsh said customers would now have the chance to participate in a greater number of IPOs and capital raisings and will benefit from not having to pay brokerage or stamp duty on these transactions.

From today, Australia’s 200,000 high net worth investors and all fund managers will be able to participate directly in capital raisings, in a world‐first by the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Called ASX BookBuild, the new technology enables bids to be collected and managed from all prospective investors.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) today announces a proposed new facility that will improve the pricing and allocation process for bookbuilds. ASX BookBuild is expected to be operational prior to the end of 2012, subject to regulatory approval.
