AIM
Advisers, Inc. helps small and medium-sized, growth-oriented U.S. companies
with international operations or aspirations complete IPOs on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM.
IPO
activity on AIM surged during the second half of 2013 to close the year with 62
IPOs, a 38% increase over 2012. Gross
capital raised from AIM IPOs during 2013 amounted to £1.0 billion ($1.6
billion), a 47% increase over 2012. The share of technology company IPOs on AIM has doubled each year since 2011 and consumer-facing businesses have been prolific given the sudden strengthening of the U.K.economy and the optimistic outlook. Financial companies have always been popular and a continuing trend.
AIM continued to move from strength-to-strength during the first quarter of 2014 with a sharp increase in capital raised from IPOs, £1.3 billion ($2.1 billion); more than for all of 2013. Q1 2014 capital raised from AIM IPOs was 10x higher than Q1 2013 and represents the strongest Q1 performance since the London Stock Exchange established AIM 19 years ago, the only exception being Q1 2006.

With
the worst of the financial crisis behind us, the balance of this decade should
be bright for U.S.-based SMEs that wish to access $8 million - $80 million of equity
growth capital via IPOs on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM.
