The number of companies on AIM decreased
again in May – this time by three – as six new
joiners were offset by nine departures. As
at end May, there were consequently 1,074
AIM constituents, down 30 from 1,104 as at
end December 2014. Of the six new joiners,
three have their central operations based in
the UK, with the others based in the USA,
Barbados and Malaysia. All six of the new
joiners raised new equity upon admission.
The average market capitalisation of AIM’s
constituents as at end May was £70.1m,
having rebounded from the 18 month low
of £63.6m witnessed in January 2015 and
reaching its highest since June 2014. The
median market capitalisation as at end
May was £21.2m. This increase has in our
opinion arisen as a result of improvements
in global financial markets and investors’
willingness to return to the riskier equity
asset class.
Funds raised (£m)
In May, a total of £433m was raised on
AIM. This figure is down on April’s total
of £502m, and a decrease of 21% on May
2014’s total. Of the £433m, £180m was
raised via Primary issues, which is the largest
monthly raise for Primary issues so far this
year. A further £253m was raised through
Secondary issues.

Curtis Banks is a provider of self-invested personal pensions (‘SIPPs’). Despite
having only been founded in 2009, it is already the third largest provider in the
UK, with a portfolio of 26,000 SIPPs. The Company is headquartered in Bristol
and has regional offices in Dundee and Market Harborough. Management
believes that an AIM listing will enhance its reputation which will in turn
assist in retaining key staff and attracting new introducers and clients. Of the
£21.32m, £7.5m was new equity, whilst the remaining £13.82m constituted
the founders selling down their shareholdings.

Elegant Hotels owns and operates five beachfront hotels and a beachfront
restaurant in Barbados. Of the £63m raised upon admission to AIM, £30.8m
constituted a vendor placing (primarily stock held by Private Equity house,
Vision Capital Partners). Of the £32.2m gross received by the Company, £27m
is to be used to reduce existing debt, which will reduce gearing. Management
intends to pay out an annual dividend amounting to a yield of 7% (calculated
on the basis of the IPO Placing price).

2015 AIM ADMISSIONS
There have been 24 admissions to AIM in
the first five months of 2015. These have
been offset by 54 departures, resulting in
a total number of constituents (as at end
May) of 1,074.
The new joiners have raised a total of
£396.1m upon admission, which amounts
to a decrease of 76% on the total raised
in the same period in 2014. The four
constituents operating in the Consumer
Services sector contributed 38% (or
£152m) to this total. The new joiners had
a combined market capitalisation upon
their respective admissions of £1,585m
(equating to an average of £66.1m).
15 (or 63%) of the new joiners have their
central operations based in the UK. The
most represented sectors so far are the
Financials and Industrials sectors, with
eight and six businesses from those sectors
respectively having joined AIM in the first
five months of 2015.
The trends that emerged over the course of
2013-14 have continued into 2015. These
are namely i) that AIM is detaching itself
from the common perception that it is a
Natural Resources centric market; ii) that
larger companies are joining the market,
with smaller, weaker ones departing; iii)
that fundraisings are increasing in size;

Technology; 1
and iv) that in the current economic
climate investors prefer companies with
UK based operations.
The average share price movement for the
24 new joiners since admission equates
to +155%, although we stress that this
figure is skewed by the 3,050% rise in
the share price of Gate Ventures Plc.
The median share price movement
is +16%.

2015 VENDOR PLACINGS
We have calculated that since the beginning of
2014, 25.4% of funds raised upon admission
to AIM by new companies are attributable
to existing shareholders selling equity in
their companies. Such ‘Vendors’ come in two
broad groups: founding shareholders and/or
management teams wishing to partially or
fully cash in on their efforts made in building
their businesses; and professional investing
entities, notably Private Equity houses, seeking
to crystallise their investments.
In May 2015, two of the six companies
that raised funds upon admission to AIM
performed a Vendor placing.
7 (or 29%) of the 24 companies that have
raised funds upon admission in 2015 have
included selling shareholders. Vendor placings
in the period amount to £81m (or 20.6%) of
the total equity placed by new joiners.
Six of the seven vendor groups have
comprised founding shareholders, members of
management and/or related parties, whilst the
largest shareholder in the seventh vendor group
was a Private Equity house. This particular
vendor placing, carried out in May, represents
the first instance in 2015 that a Private Equity
house has used AIM to facilitate an exit from
an investment.
Five of the seven companies that have carried
out a vendor placing have their central
operations based in the UK or elsewhere in
Western Europe.

TRADING VOLUMES - Liquidity on AIM decreased in May
We believe that monthly trading value as a
percentage of market capitalisation helps
give an indication as to the liquidity of an
individual stock.
AIM stocks traded on average 3.33% of
their market capitalisation in May, down
from the 4.33% recorded in April. The
average daily number of bargains struck in
May, at 25,644, was 8.7% higher that the
average daily amount over the preceding
24 months (at 23,600 bargains struck per
day).

The average bargain size during the
month (at £5,350) was 13.4% below the
average bargain size over the course of the
previous 24 months. We attribute this to
increased volumes of trading in a number
of retail investors’ (who usually trade
in smaller amounts than institutions)
favourite stocks.
Liquidity was most concentrated in the
smallest of AIM’s constituents.

A combination of factors appears to have
increased retail appetite for investing
in AIM over the past 24 months. The
improvement in the UK and indeed the
global economy and the increased appetite
amongst retail investors for direct equity
investment have been of significance. The
qualification of AIM stocks for inclusion
in tax free ISA wrappers, implemented last
year, appears to have spurred interest in
the junior equity market; and this appetite
seems to have been boosted by the increase
in ISA allowances in the tax year 2014/15
from £11,520 to £15,000.

Over the past 24 months, AIM has slowly
transformed into becoming more of a
platform for UK based companies, as
investors have shied away from Natural
Resources stocks (typically not located in
the UK), and similarly the recovery of the
UK economy has excelled economies of
others. Nevertheless, the market still hosts
businesses operating across a vast range
of geographies. 101 countries in total host
the central operations of at least one AIM
company, while many more play host to
non-core operations.
AVERAGE MKT CAP SIZE
Jan-02
In 2014, the AIM market contracted as
volatility gripped global equity markets
owing to an array of factors. We feel that
amid such on-going market turbulence,
those investing in the riskier asset class of
equities tend to avoid small and micro cap
companies. Consequently, whilst larger
equity indices endured substantial swings
over the course of 2014, AIM declined
markedly. However during 2015, in which
equity indices have largely enjoyed strong
rallies, the AIM index has at last started to
mirror its larger counterparts.
Jan-01
We feel that AIM is going through a
cleansing process where small companies
are leaving the market and being replaced
by larger companies of higher quality.
The average market capitalisation of AIM
companies is currently £70.1m. As at 31
May 2015, 196 AIM constituents exceeded
the £100m valuation mark. Five companies
were valued at greater than £1bn.
