The Alternative Securities Market stands for Integrity and Ethical practices in order to enhance investor confidence in Alternative Securities and Alternative Investments, thereby contributing to the financial health of the overall economy, and supporting the capital formation process. From the Alternative Securities Market’s Early and Development Stage Companies, to Operating Companies of International Stature, each are recognized as sharing these important traits that we hold true.

The Alternative Securities Market may use such discretion to deny any application of any Issuer applying for listing for trade, apply additional or more stringent criteria for the initial or continued listing of any securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on the Alternative Securities Market inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of the Alternative Securities Market, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on the Alternative Securities Market.
