A webinar exploring how institutional investors can access UK growth companies through public markets.

The AIM market has played a vital role in supporting UK innovation, growth and job creation for more than 30 years and is increasingly relevant in the context of the Mansion House Accord, which aims to unlock greater institutional investment into UK growth businesses.

In this educational webinar, we’ll explore how AIM works, the role it plays within the UK capital markets ecosystem, and why it continues to matter for long term capital allocation to UK growth companies.

Led by Richard Power and Chris McVey from the Octopus Quoted Companies investment team, this session will draw on their deep expertise investing in AIM, where Octopus is the market’s largest investor.

What you’ll learn:

• The role AIM plays in supporting UK growth, innovation and scaleup capital, and its relevance within the Mansion House Accord framework.
• Key characteristics of the AIM market, including company profiles, governance and liquidity considerations.
• How AIM can be considered within a long term, diversified portfolio against the current market and policy backdrop.

Key risks to keep in mind:

• Capital at risk: This is a high-risk investment. The value of an investment, and any income from it, can fall as well as rise. Investors could end up getting back less than they put in.
• Tax treatment: Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules could change in future.
• Volatility and liquidity: AIM Market shares could fall or rise in value more than other shares listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. They may also be harder to sell.
