The AIM Market

Launched by the London Stock Exchange in 1995, AIM has established itself as the world’s most successful growth market. AIM provides small and medium sized growing companies with the opportunity to raise capital and a liquid market place to trade shares. Since its launch, over 3000 growth companies have listed on AIM and these companies have raised a total of over £60 billion. The London Stock Exchange has actively sought to attract international companies to AIM over a number of years and international companies now comprise a significant proportion of the market.

AIM benefits from being an integral part of the London Stock Exchange.
