Hi Under, There are two reasons that AIM can underperform. The amount of cash can act as a drag especially now with the interest rate so low. I believe the amount of cash recommended by v wave is way too much to make AIM work. The 20% cash of Lichello's AIM Hi is probably the optimal amount to make AIM work in a broad based portfolio.

The other reason is if you AIM an individual stock that happens to go into a deep dive and does not recover and end up sinking a lot of cash and hurting the performance of the whole portfolio. The majority of the portfolio that one AIMs should be in broad index ETF's IMO.
