As well as this, Grant Thornton research shows AIM companies directly contributed £33.5bn to UK GDP and supported more than 430,000 jobs in 2019. At Singer Capital Markets, we are hugely proud to be part of this vibrant ecosystem of companies, and to see first hand the difference this market has made to so many companies, people and to our economy as a whole.

“The success that so many companies have found on AIM is a testament to the strength of UK equity markets. Quite often I hear about companies looking at the US market but, actually, AIM demonstrates everything that’s positive about our ecosystem here in the UK, and just how important it is to our economy.“
