Maples and Calder, the Maples Group’s law firm, announced that it advised on 48% of all Cayman Islands Stock Exchange listings in 2025.
In 2025, the Cayman Stock Exchange (CSX) listed 492 new securities marking the fourth best year for new listings since the CSX’s inception in 1996. At the end of 2025, there were 2,758 active listings on the CSX, amounting to a market capitalisation of US$838 billion. This growth reflects the continued confidence of issuers and investors in the CSX.
A strong flow of new specialist debt listings during the last two years has helped make a record total number of listings on the market and demonstrates the attractiveness of the CSX’s debt market offering.
For 2025, the CSX maintained its position as the leading venue for listing collateralised loan obligations (CLOs), with 283 securities listed during the year, which brought the total number of CLOs listed on the CSX to 1,412 at the end of December 2025. With the growing interest from CLO issuers, the CSX has captured a significant percentage of US new launches, refinancings and resets in the market.
For 2025, the Maples Group’s Cayman Islands listings team advised on over 230 listings, including approximately 45% of CLOs listed on the CSX.
Amanda Lazier, partner at the Maples Group, said, “Achieving nearly half of all CSX listings for 2025 is a clear reflection of the trust our valued clients place in us for their business needs, as well as our global listing team’s ability to deliver responsive, high-quality and technical advice to support issuers. We are proud of our leading position in this space and look forward to supporting the CSX further as their market continues to expand.”
