The JSE is a licensed securities exchange that plays a central role in commercial and economic development of Southern Africa.

Like any securities exchange, the JSE fulfils two functions:

• As a secondary market for the subsequent trading of those shares. The JSE provides an orderly market to facilitate the secondary trade of listed securities between buyers and sellers, in terms of the rules and regulation of the JSE, with due protection for all parties concerned.
  

As part of the service, the JSE also sells data relating to trading which can be used for investment decisions. A wide range of financial instruments are traded on the JSE: shares, warrants, financial and agricultural futures and options contracts, interest rate products and Exchange Traded Funds.
