AIM stocks worth £40bn make it to FTSE 100 and FTSE 250

There’s a lot of talk about AIM not developing enough technology companies, but Andrew Hore points out that it’s been more successful at producing the large caps of tomorrow than you might think.

Golden paws casting a shadow of a crown

There's been a lot of discussion about the failure of the UK stock market to finance the building up of large, world-class technology companies, including in the recent Tony Blair Institute paper. AIM is singled out as failing to provide the platform for these growth businesses.

Technology companies have generated investment by coming to AIM, but some have been taken over by private equity investors or larger technology companies. Others, of course, have run out of money, but there are always going to be technology companies that fall by the wayside because they are by their nature risky.

Some pharma and technology companies, such as the first UK-quoted cannabis-based medicines developer GW Pharma, have moved from AIM to US listings rather than the Main Market. That is not AIM’s fault, because it gave them a start.

AIM has never been a market predominantly for technology companies. It has always been a more general market, and it has evolved over time. It is silly to expect it to be the Nasdaq, which has a much greater pool of informed technology investors. The successes of AIM are not always immediately apparent and can be missed.

One of the reasons for launching AIM was to provide an initial market for companies before moving on to the Main Market. Many companies have moved the other way because of the tax incentives and less-stringent red ta

There are also 17 former AIM companies in the FTSE 250 index. Building products supplier Tyman recently dropped out of the index after it was taken over by US-based Qannex Building Products for around £800 million in cash and shares. Tyman is the only company to have moved from AIM to the Main Market and then back to AIM before returning to the Main Market.

Some of those companies were not on AIM for long, but it gave them their start on the public markets. Many have grown via a range of acquisitions, while others are predominantly focused on organic growth.
