New high-tech listing on JSE

A new high-tech company, 4Sight Holdings, has been listed in the Non-Equity Investment Instruments sector of the JSE’s AltX board aimed at small and medium-sized companies. 

4Sight Holdings is the 17th company to list on the JSE this year, but the first to focus on emerging high-tech areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.

Donna Nemer, director of capital markets at the JSE, says the exchange welcomes 4Sight Holdings: “As an exchange it is important to the JSE to contribute to creating more opportunities for small and medium-sized companies to raise capital and grow their businesses. These companies are crucial to creating jobs, fostering innovation and pushing the South African economy forward.”

Nemer says listing on the JSE allows small and medium-sized companies to tap into large pools of capital while also raising their profile. 4Sight is the 6th company to list on AltX this year, while 4 companies have also migrated from AltX to the JSE’s main board this year.

4Sight Holdings, which is incorporated in Mauritius, seeks to enable people to make decisions in the digital economy to better the quality of their being, business, and societies.
