Mint was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2007 and de-listed in 2020. With a market capitalisation of USD 18 million at the time of de-listing, the company has been able to reduce costs and have greater strategic flexibility as an unlisted company enabling scalable growth. Officials from PrimaryMarkets said their platform provides market depth of orders, independence, and flexibility which are just some of the many benefits the PrimaryMarkets Trading Hub was designed to provide, along with new capital raising capabilities.

With 110,000 global members on the platform, they offer companies access to investors who take long-term positions in growing businesses. They will continue to provide new opportunities to investors so they can diversify their portfolios away from listed equities exposures.
