CityA.M..’s Harriet Green, a leading journalist in crowdfunding and a moderator at next Monday’s Money&Co. co-sponsored conference, reports on a very welcome move – one that moves our “alternative” sector yet further into the mainstream.
“City investors are getting an exchange to trade crowdfunded investments, as the UK’s first crowdfunding marketplace launches today.
“Crowdfunding platform Crowd2Fund is opening “The Exchange”, where investors will be able to sell off investments and access their capital.
“Crowd2Fund, which launched in late 2014, is an FCA-regulated platform specialising in revenue loans. But trading on the new marketplace won’t be limited to investments made on this platform – it’ll be opened up to exchanges of investments made on any crowdfunding campaign.”
