As part of the listing rule criteria all APX listed companies are required to have a sponsor for the first 2 years of listing on the market. To accommodate this listing criterion, the APX has developed a support model "APX Sponsor" which refers APX Listees to APX qualified expert advisors to assist the Listee through the listing process.

The "Participant" or Broker is an essential step towards operating in the APX stock market. APX brokers are professionals who facilitate investor's access to buy, sell, and trade shares of listed companies for their clients. History The exchange began in 1997 as an exempt market operated by Austock. (An exempt market is one the Australian government exempts from the licensing otherwise required for a financial market.) The first listing was pharmaceutical manufacturer Sigma Pharmaceuticals. At the time it was a cooperative owned by pharmacists, and it wanted to raise capital, but an Australian Stock Exchange listing would have required the owners to give up control (under the ASX "one share, one vote" rule). Austock instead created a structure of separate investor and voting shares for them, and established an exempt market for those shares. The Austock exempt market through its life listed 22 companies and turned over about $500 million. It included initial listings for the SFE Corporation (owner of the Sydney Futures Exchange) and SPC Ardmona, before they moved to the Australian Stock Exchange. The exchange in its present form as a licensed stock exchange was established in August 2004 and commenced trading in January 2005. It retained the trading platform software used by the exempt market. In 2008 the visionary George Wang of AIMS Financial Group (AIMS) acquired the Australian Pacific Exchange Limited and rebranded (APX) as the Asia Pacific Stock Exchange. About AIMS Financial Group AIMS Financial Group (AIMS) was established in 1991 as a mortgage lender. Over the past twenty years, AIMS has expanded into a diversified non-bank financial services institution, offering mortgage lending, securitization, funds management, and investment banking services. AIMS is officially recognized by the China Industrial Overseas Development and Planning Association, one of the leading industry bodies regulated by the National Development and Reform Commission, as a highly qualified and trusted financial service provider to local businesses.

Phrases such as:

APX recognizes the importance that market participants bring to the exchange.

are not encyclopedic in tone, but the language of pr. I do appreciate your willingness to provide text, but the proposed text will not work.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:53, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry again, but the text above seems to be yet another unsigned draft version of the article, with similar problems to the previous, most notably, its:

• promotional tone
• lack of independent verifiability
• lack of a neutral point of view, and
• being unsigned.

I've collapsed it so we can do here what this page is intended for: talk about the article. I'm also adding the {{talk header|arpol=yes}} template to the page to gently inform and remind editors how to use this page. To avoid distractions from the numerous sections of the draft, I'm also demoting their headings to the third level. yoyo (talk) 14:56, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
