Stairway to heaven

Article Abstract:

Many small public companies in the UK face liquidity difficulties. This can prompt them to seek to move to a higher market, where the liquidity of their shares can be increased and access can be gained to new investors. Initial results from research undertaken by Price Waterhouse indicate that there is a discount for companies trading on Ofex compared with the AIM or the LSE. This does not exist for companies on the AIM as compared with the LSE. Moving from the AIM to the LSE will probably not resolve a company's liquidity problems.

Article Abstract:

The majority of Leeds-based small quoted firms are defined as low priority investment opportunities by fund managers, which has led to an under-performance of the market. A survey of fund managers found a distinct lack of appreciation for the potential earnings which could be obtained from investing in small quoted firms. Immature markets were likely to result in significant market growth, leading to greater returns on investment.
