Dual Listing

Definition:

The listing of a company’s securities on more than one exchange, generally for the purpose of adding liquidity to the shares. Dual Listing also allows investors greater choice in where they can trade their shares.

Shares may be listed on the exchanges of different countries. While Dual Listing is not a widely used technique, it may improve the spread between the bid and ask prices for a share, helping the investor obtain a better price for their shares.
