Aim (formerly the Alternative Investment Market) is London’s market for small and medium-sized growth companies. It has a bit of a bad reputation among investors and it’s easy to understand why. Aim has greater regulatory flexibility compared to the main market, which is supposed to make it easier for companies to list and attract investor capital.
Unfortunately, this light-touch regulatory regime has been abused by bad actors over the years. As a result, Aim has developed a reputation for being a financial Wild West.
