What does it mean to sell unlisted shares?
Selling unlisted shares differs from selling listed shares on a public exchange. They are not traded through regular order books. Instead, transactions are carried out privately, typically through a specialised broker with the right network and market insight.
Monitor Capital Markets is a dedicated broker focused exclusively on unlisted companies. We do not provide advisory services. Instead, we act as a broker, connecting sellers with qualified buyers on market-based terms under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen).
Important to know:
- Unlisted shares are not sold through regulated marketplaces and require specialised brokerage
- Pricing is typically based on the company’s latest valuation and current supply and demand in the market
- Transfer restrictions, pre-emption rights or consent requirements may affect the transaction. We help you navigate the process
- For private individuals, gains are generally taxed at 25% in Sweden
- Unlisted shares cannot be held in an ISK account
