	[[AIM]] (formerly the '''Alternative Investment Market''') is a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange that was launched on 19 June 1995 as a replacement to the previous Unlisted Securities Market (USM) ~~that~~ had been ~~in operation~~ since 1980.

[[AIM]] (formerly the '''Alternative Investment Market''') is a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange that was launched on 19 June 1995 as a replacement for the previous Unlisted Securities Market (USM), which had been operational since 1980. It provides a platform for smaller, less-developed companies, or those seeking a more flexible approach to governance, to float shares under a regulatory framework less stringent than that of the main market. This flexibility has made [[AIM]] an attractive option for firms that may not meet the listing requirements of larger exchanges.

	At launch, AIM comprised only 10 companies ~~valued~~ ~~collectively~~ at £82.2 million. ~~As at~~ May 2021, ~~821 companies comprised~~ the sub-market, with an average market ~~cap~~ of £80 million per listing.[2] AIM has also ~~started~~ to ~~become~~ an ~~international~~ ~~exchange,~~ ~~often due to its~~ low regulatory burden, ~~especially~~ in relation to the US Sarbanes–Oxley Act ~~(though~~ only a quarter of AIM-listed companies would ~~qualify~~ to be ~~listed~~ on a US stock exchange even prior to ~~passage~~ of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act).[3] By December 2005, over 270 foreign companies had been admitted to AIM.		At its launch, [[AIM]] comprised only 10 companies with a combined value of £82.2 million. By May 2021, the sub-market had grown significantly, hosting 821 companies with an average market capitalization of £80 million per listing.[2] The growth of [[AIM]] has also extended beyond the United Kingdom. Its relatively low regulatory burden, particularly in relation to the US Sarbanes–Oxley Act, has contributed to its international appeal. However, only a quarter of [[AIM]]-listed companies would have qualified for listing on a US stock exchange even prior to the enactment of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act.[3] By December 2005, over 270 foreign companies had been admitted to [[AIM]], highlighting its role as a global hub for emerging markets.

			[[AIM]] (formerly the '''Alternative Investment Market''') is a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange that was launched on 19 June 1995 as a replacement to the previous Unlisted Securities Market (USM) that had been in operation since 1980. It allows companies that are smaller, less-developed, or want/need a more flexible approach to governance to float shares with a more flexible regulatory system than is applicable on the main market.

			At launch, AIM comprised only 10 companies valued collectively at £82.2 million. As at May 2021, 821 companies comprised the sub-market, with an average market cap of £80 million per listing.[2] AIM has also started to become an international exchange, often due to its low regulatory burden, especially in relation to the US Sarbanes–Oxley Act (though only a quarter of AIM-listed companies would qualify to be listed on a US stock exchange even prior to passage of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act).[3] By December 2005, over 270 foreign companies had been admitted to AIM.
