AIM: SHELTER FROM THE STORM: RESULTS FROM OUR ANNUAL SURVEY

Despite the struggling global economy and double dip recession, new research by Smith & Williamson reveals high levels of confidence among UK-based, AIM-listed companies.

Two-thirds of the 152 AIM-listed companies surveyed believe that being on AIM has been good for business, with acquisition and fundraising plans remaining surprisingly robust. Nevertheless, three-quarters expect the number of companies on AIM to continue to fall.

Business confidence remains broadly intact among AIM companies despite a clear fall in confidence among survey respondents about the economy as a whole. In fact, over half (54%) of participating companies expected a double dip recession, compared to just under a fifth (18%) in 2010.
