ADDX is a private market exchange on a mission to make investing fairer. Using blockchain and smart contract technology, ADDX eliminates manual interventions in the lifecycle of securities across multiple asset classes. This allows it to reduce investment minimums from $1m to as low as $5,000, so that more individuals can take on previously inaccessible assets and achieve a level of diversification that, until now, was feasible only among institutions.
ADDX serves individual accredited investors in several countries, spanning Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Americas (excluding the US). It also serves corporate and institutional investors with wealth management services that enable them to unlock new private market investment opportunities for their end-clients, while reducing administrative time.
Deals launched on ADDX so far feature world-class, blue-chip names such as: Hamilton Lane, Partners Group, Investcorp, Singtel, Mapletree, CGS-CIMB, Astrea, SeaTown and Fullerton Fund Management. Its shareholders include UOB, SGX, Heliconia, Hamilton Lane and the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
