JP Jenkins and Winterflood announce transformative collaboration, unlocking access to private UK growth companies 
 
 
London, September 5th, 2023 - JP Jenkins (www.jpjenkins.com), the liquidity venue for unlisted assets powered by 
InfinitX, has today announced a transformative collaboration with Winterflood Securities (www.winterflood.com), a 
leading electronic liquidity provider and outsourced technology supplier. The move will streamline access to a growing 
number of unlisted UK equities for family offices, institutional wealth managers, sophisticated private investors and 
their broker intermediaries. 
 
Alex Skrine, Director at Winterflood Securities, commented: 
 
"For too long it has been too complicated for many intermediaries and their underlying investors to gain access to 
unlisted UK equities. As more and more companies are choosing to remain private for longer, reform here is long 
overdue, which is why we believe this collaboration can drive a step change in the popularity of unlisted stocks." 
 
In early 2023, JP Jenkins was acquired by InfinitX, a FinTech provider developed to power private marketplaces. By 
connecting market participants using new technologies, integration of the InfinitX solution enables order flow to be 
routed electronically onto the JP Jenkins matched bargain platform for execution and settlement. 
 
Mike McCudden, CEO of InfinitX, added: 
 
"Today's news validates the strength of the technology we have built, enabling any private marketplace to connect using 
existing trading infrastructures. As we have seen with the JP Jenkins and Winterflood Securities integration, our 
solution allows venues to dramatically scale their distribution without counterparties needing to make any significant 
technology investment to gain access." 
 
By making use of existing market infrastructure to place orders in unlisted securities then settle trades via CREST, 
this collaboration lowers the cost and complexity of transactions in the asset class. 
 
The integration primarily utilises Winterflood's existing trading infrastructure and direct client distribution 
channels to route order flow to the InfinitX API. Executions will subsequently be returned through the exact same 
workflow. 
 
Veronika Oswald, Commercial Director at JP Jenkins, concluded: 
 
"Investors are increasingly seeing unlisted assets as providing a valuable way to diversify a portfolio. This 
collaboration revolutionises the ease of distribution for unlisted stocks."
