CEO of the London Stock Exchange, Dame Julia Hoggett, has spoken to the Treasury in favour of AIM and why Business Relief has become an important source of “capital for AIM companies”.

Sky News reported that Dame Julia told the Treasury what immense value AIM brings to this country and why Business Relief should continue.

Chris Boxall, portfolio manager at Fundamental Asset Management, welcomed Dame Julia’s intervention. “We have been calling for the LSE to begin shouting about the merits of AIM and the value that Business Relief delivers for the UK economy for some time.

“Back in February, I wrote to Dame Julia and made four recommendations, including to ‘Run a dynamic marketing campaign highlighting the success of companies on AIM – aimed at private investors and the public at large (not just institutional investors).’ This intervention is definitely filed under ‘Better Late Than Never’.”
