Listing structured securities
ALTX has successfully listed several structured securities that have revolutionised the products available on the Ugandan market.
Depository Receipts
The ALTX Treasury Debt Depository Receipt (DR) Program introduced a brand new asset class to the market. Alongside this, the DR program has several achievements.
- Uganda Treasury Debt Depository Receipts
- Brought the minimum investment down from UGX 100,000 to UGX 10,000
- Added over 30 new securities to the market
- Kenya Treasury Debt Depository Receipts
- The first time in East Africa that Treasury Debt was available to trade on an exchange outside its country of issue.
- Enabled seamless investments in Uganda shillings in a Kenya shilling denominated product
Exchange Traded Funds
Working with Tolea Securities Limited, the ALTX market listed the first ever Treasury Debt Exchange Traded Fund (The Tolea ETF) available in Uganda. The ETF showed offered strong returns, growing over 13% in just the first 6 months.
Global Equities
The Global Equities Depository Receipt Prospectus has also been approved and registered. This will allow Ugandan investors to directly global stocks and hold them right here in Uganda. This is a further trailblazing product innovation only possible on the ALTX platform.
ALTX is happy to work with local and global issuers to list even more ground-breaking investment products.

Listing companies
On ALTX you can list on one of our two market segments:
THE ALTX MAIN MARKET
The ALTX Main Market hosts large well established companies seeking to raise capital from the public. ALTX is uniquely positioned to attract a wide range of investors with an investment minimum of UGX 10,000.
THE ALTX GROWTH MARKET
Growth companies are smaller, perhaps newer but extremely promising entities that are on a clear upwards trajectory. Whether generating significant cash flows at a faster rate than the rest of the economy, or simply presenting lucrative reinvestment opportunities for retained earnings, growth companies are a promising option for those investors willing to take a chance. In turn, the growth company earns the opportunity to exploit its advantaged position to reach even greater heights.
The ALTX Growth Rules seek to identify promising companies. A company that meets the test requirements qualifies to list on the Growth Market and benefit from the wide range of investors ALTX has brought together. A company may exceed these requirements in which case it will then qualify to list on the ALTX Main Market.
HOW TO LIST ON ALTX
