Almost 795,000 trades were made on AIM-listed companies in September alone, trading 43.8 billion shares with a value of over £4.3 billion. The majority of funds raised on AIM is by companies that have already listed, demonstrating that firms are able to tap into vital liquidity even after they have conducted their IPO.
The market has proven its ability to provide the vital funding needed to nurture small businesses. The peak year for IPOs was in 2005 when nearly 400 new companies joined the market, but it has remained below 100 per year ever since the financial crisis. In 2018, 52 new companies joined AIM and raised £1.6 billion, with existing companies raising a further £3.9 billion. Still, seven companies have joined the market in the first nine months of 2019, raising over £371 million, while existing listings have raised a further £2.36 billion.
