Corporate Governance in Alternative Investment Market (AIM) Companies

Researchers: Chris Mallin and Kean Ow-Yong


The Report

AIM is the leading market for smaller, growing companies from all over the world. Creating a unique community of innovative and entrepreneurial companies, one of AIMs key features is its simplified regulatory environment specifically designed for the needs of smaller companies.But is this light touch approach to corporate governance working and what are the views of AIM company directors, AIM investors and AIM nominated advisors (NOMADs)?

The study identifies that the lighter touch on corporate governance for AIM companies seems to be working quite well with institutional investors recognising that full compliance with the Combined Code is not always appropriate for AIM Companies.

The report, however, highlights a concern that a damaging financial collapse or scandal is only a matter of time. This concern suggests that although the current framework seems to be working the sector should not be complacent. The authors conclude with important and potentially far reaching policy implications for the sector.
