Tvrtka ima za cilj isporučiti pravednija i inkluzivnija tržišta kapitala za male ulagatelje
Investicijsko-bankarska platforma RetailBook danas najavljuje svoje pokretanje s potpuno neovisnim operacijama.
RetailBook je osnovan 2022. godine i povezuje tvrtke koje prikupljaju kapital s EU malim ulagateljima. Tvrtka je nastala kao platforma REX 2015. godine, djelujući iz EU investicijske banke Peel Hunt.
Odluka o stvaranju neovisne tvrtke i platforme donesena je kao dio cilja stvaranja pravednijih i inkluzivnijih tržišta kapitala za male ulagatelje. To je postignuto kroz sporazume o suradnji s tvrtkama poput Hargreaves Lansdown, Jefferies i Rothschild & Co.
RetailBook’s platform allows companies to include individual investors in their fundraisings through retail brokers or wealth managers, and enables retail investors to participate in primary capital markets transactions alongside institutions.
RetailBook raised £2.5 million from investors in March 2024, receiving its FCA authorisation shortly after in April 2024. Peel Hunt’s REX will no longer operate, and Retail Book will independently conduct future retail transactions for Peel Hunt and other market participants.

RetailBook will be led by CEO, Aaqib Mirza, who is a founding director of the firm since its incorporation in 2022, and was previously a board member and Chief Technology Officer at Peel Hunt. He has over 25 years’ experience in banking and trading technology.

“We are proud to announce RetailBook’s independence. This is a significant milestone for the firm and I would like to thank the team for all of their hard work that helped make this a reality.”
“RetailBook’s vision is to deliver fairer and more inclusive capital markets for retail investors. Until now, retail investors typically didn’t have access to primary capital markets transactions alongside institutions.”
