AIM breaks the 1,000 company mark

Sustained activity levels in the final quarter of 2004 have seen AIM crown a record year in terms of new admissions and money raised, according to research by Grant Thornton Corporate Finance. Delivering a total of 116 admissions in Q4, 90 of which were new applicants, 2004 has seen AIM break the 1,000 listed companies milestone in early December attracting more than 350 admissions, more than double the number of admissions in 2003 (162 admissions). Raising almost £900m in Q4 alone, the total fundraising for the year now amounts to over £2.7bn, almost two and a half times the level of new funds raised in 2003 and more than the combined amount of new funds raised in the last three years. AIM's ability to attract fresh capital during 2004 has easily surpassed the markets peak activity during 2000 when just £1.7bn of new funds were raised, a full £1bn less than 2004.
