Alternative Investment Market: The first ten years Marc Cowling Institute for Employment Studies

Background Established by London Stock Exchange in June 1995 as a regulated market of a Recognised Investment Exchange It replaced the Unlisted Securities Market (USM) Provides a less costly route which could be used by smaller companies to raise capital both on their introduction to the market & thereafter

The market provides an opportunity for companies to raise capital for expansion, a trading facility & a way of establishing a market value for their shares AIM companies tend to trade on wider spreads than companies on the main market, & liquidity can be a problem One of the advantages of investing in AIM companies is that for tax purposes they are treated as ‘unquoted investments’. Significance is that for every year that you hold AIM shares, you get 5% taper relief' on any gains you subsequently make. eg a higher rate taxpayer who would normally pay 40% CGT, & holds shares for one year then sells them, only pays 35% CGT. If held shares for four years or more, the tax rate falls to 10%.

By the end of 2004 almost 1,000 companies were on AIM & its market capitalisation has risen to about £24,000,000,000 The market has proved particularly popular with mining & resource companies in recent years By some calculations, AIM has accounted for almost two-thirds of total IPO’s in Western Europe during the past year

AIM Listing Requirements For a company to be admitted to the AIM market it needs to produce an Admission Document which should include all information which an investor would reasonably require & expect to find, to make an informed assessment of the assets & liabilities, financial position, profits & losses & prospects of the company, together with the rights attaching to the shares to be issued Under the AIM rules all companies admitted to AIM must have a nominated adviser (“NOMAD”) whose responsibility is to work closely with the company & advise it on its obligations as a company whose shares are traded on the AIM market.
