2006 Global new markets guide
Growth markets continue to provide a healthy environment for nurturing fledgling and high growth companies. Throughout 2005 most of the world’s key markets displayed growth both in numbers of companies quoted and market capitalisation. Philip Secrett explains:
Dual listings are becoming more widespread as companies seek a relatively safe way of exploring a listing on an international market. Some companies are driven by poor liquidity in home markets, others seek the opportunity to gain access to a larger investor base with a larger pool of capital available for investment, while some are attracted to the regulatory structure of international markets. Certainly AIM, one of the star performers of 2005, has been particularly successful in this regard.
