Information About

Alternative Investment Market




AIM has also started to become an international exchange, often due to its low-regulatory burden, especially in relation to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (which imposes regulatory costs on companies listed in the US, including those without any operations). As of December 2005 over 270 foreign companies had been admitted to the Alternative Investments Market. Issues of regulatory information (such as company reports and profit warnings) have arisen recently, with the LSE looking at ways to deal with such problems and how to avoid them if the AIM is to continue listing new foreign companies.

The independent FTSE Group maintains 3 indices for measuring the AIM, which are the FTSE AIM UK 50 Index , FTSE AIM 100 Index , and FTSE AIM All-Share Index .
