PROFILE |
 |
The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is Europe's largest stock market, listing more than 2,700 stocks, depository receipts, warrants, and Eurobonds -- one fifth from non-UK companies. The demutualized exchange, which listed its shares in 2001, uses an order-driven system called Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service (SETS). SETS matches buy and sell orders via computer, so there is no trading floor. The market consists of a main section, a high-growth market (AIM), technology stocks (techMARK), and an investor-oriented market called extraMARK. The LSE and the Deutsche Börse planned to merge, but the LSE backed out of the deal to defend itself against a failed hostile takeover attempt by OM Gruppen (now OM AB).
