AIM in the US

The London Stock Exchange has been speaking at a series of seminars in January on the east coast of the US to promote AIM, its international market specifically designed for smaller, growing companies.

In 2005, the London Stock Exchange attracted a record 19 companies from the US to AIM, raising a combined total of $2,126 million. There are now a total of 29 companies from the US quoted on AIM.

As part of the Exchange’s drive to attract more US companies to AIM, Tracey Pierce, the Exchange’s Head of Global Business Development, participated in a number of AIM seminars in New York City and Boston. These are just the start of a number of AIM events that the Exchange will be taking part in over 2006 in the US.

In the 10 years since its launch, AIM has grown into the world’s most successful market for smaller, growing companies, with a total of $42,088 billion raised by companies on the market. AIM currently has a total of 1,399 quoted companies, of which over 220 are based outside the UK, drawn from countries as diverse as Australia, China, India and Israel.
