2 Introduction to AIM The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is the world s leading market for smaller, growing companies from across the globe. It offers companies from any sector the chance to go public at an earlier stage in their development Since AIM s inception in 1995, over 3,524 admissions have been completed and more than billion raised, helping companies to fund future growth and expansion AIM market (as at end June 2014): Total number of companies: 1,104 UK companies: 882 Non-UK companies: 222 (57 countries) What does an AIM quotation offer? A flexible regulatory regime; access to a unique, globally respected market; access to a wide pool of capital; increased status and credibility; easier rules on acquisition 2
3 Introduction to AIM Number of companies Distribution of companies by equity market value Market value range m ,000 3 Over 1,000 A large number of the +1,100 companies listed on AIM will be at an early development stage. However, there are also many mature, profitable and dividend paying companies It is therefore important to be highly selective when picking AIM companies, conducting thorough and detailed analysis Smaller dividend paying companies are attracting attention from institutional investors, as dividend growth from the UK s largest companies becomes harder to find 3
4 Why AIM Companies? Smaller quoted companies offer the potential for high growth and can often deliver that growth regardless of economic conditions Following the financial crisis and subsequent recession, many smaller companies now operate with no debt and often hold substantial cash balances, increasing their ability to grow dividends Smaller companies are often under-researched which creates opportunities for experienced and specialised investment managers like Unicorn AIM stocks are listed on an official exchange valuations are therefore transparent, since share prices are marked to market on a daily basis 4
