What does the Stock Exchange do?
The London Stock Exchange is a market place for the buying and selling of shares
and other securities in UK and other companies and institutions. Only public
companies can offer shares to the public and so the Stock Exchange has no role
in the transfer of private companies' shares. Shares in smaller companies are
listed on the Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
The Exchange's own website contains much information about the Stock Exchange
itself and companies listed on it, as do the websites for the other leading
Stock Exchanges such as those in New York and Tokyo.
