AIM Listed Stock
The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is part of the London Stock Exchange and is designed to allow smaller companies to float shares to gain capital. It is designed so that companies from across the world can join and as a result, the AIM has grown so that it now lists 2,900 companies since it was established in 1995.
As the AIM is not as stringently regulated as the Main Market, smaller companies join to gain capital. However, as companies do not need to satisfy the same regulations as the Main Market, there can be a greater element of risk.
