After being a member at LJSE for 3 years, for the first time in our history InterCapital was awarded as the Member of the Year of Ljubljana Stock Exchange. Such an award comes on the back of leading equity market share, research activities, multiple organized investor conferences and contribution of market making mandates.

Currently we provide these services in Slovenia to Krka, Triglav, Petrol and Sava Re. Through this service, InterCapital aims to increase the liquidity and lower the spread in all in order to improve trading efficiency for both retail and institutional investors.
