MILAN (AIMnews.it) - On the day of the AIM Conference in London, in which 25 companies present themselves to British investors through one-to-one meetings, it has emerged how AIM Italia resists volatility more than the main listings . To determine this capacity a set of characteristics has been illustrated in an article written in the Sole24Ore by Lucilla Incorvati, which focuses on analysing the typicality of the list dedicated to exceptional SMEs with a desire for growth. "In a quarterly comparison Aim Italia fell by 6%, compared to a - 11% of Midex and a - 14% of Mib - and this has happened because it is a market mainly made up of institutional investors, decidedly more uncorrelated to the cycle - points out Anna Lambiase, CEO of IRTop Consulting - Those who invest in these companies do not buy and sell, but tend to remain in the segment until the realisation of the industrial plan has been carried out, and which was announced during the IPO phase. For this reason AIM is not a market for a reactive public: we need awareness, information and above all knowledge of industrial dynamics also because we are exposed to higher risk, more typical of small caps." AIM is a training gym to get closer to the capital market. "Being a market for growth, it is in the DNA of AIM to favour, when the requirements are met, (a capitalization of at least 40 million and a float of 25% or 35% depending on the case) to pass on to the MTA or Star markets - adds Lambiase - and this is what some some companies have done with obvious effects on shares. An example of all this is Piteco, that passed a few weeks ago onto the MTA. Also, I would like to emphasise another feature of AIM; the element of aggregation, influential to the growth of societies. One example is Costamp Group, which is nothing more than the result of a reverse takeover, therefore of an aggregation born out of listing on AIM, aimed at growth."
