AIM is the London Stock Exchange's alternative investment market (AIM). The AIM stock market is suitable for smaller growing companies as AIM gives public quotation benefits, but with more flexible regulatory requirements.
Launched in 1995, companies from all industry sectors and countries can join AIM, subject to certain eligibility, although the AIM entry rules are more relaxed than those of the Main Market of the LSE.
The AIM stock market allows burgeoning companies greater access to investment at an earlier stage of development.
AIM has been called 'the world's most dynamic market for smaller growing companies'. Many companies choose to list share prices on AIM as a step to the Main Market.
Indeed, some investors like to invest in AIM, because they hope their AIM stock market investment will grow with the company. Of course, the investment community hinges on the right information and that's where Hemscott help with AIM share prices and more.
