An early Black Friday surprise has arrived on your Freetrade app.

Freetrade Plus members now have access to practically all UK AIM stocks with the addition of 300 tickers to the app today, including popular community requests like Cake Box, Quantum Blockchain, Revolution Beauty, AMTE Power, Water Intelligence, Keystone Law and Warpaint London.

The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is the junior market in London, where smaller companies or those at an earlier stage of growth can list. 

While AIM is home to some large household names, like ASOS or Boohoo, there are also lots of companies that list shares with low market capitalisations. Shares in these companies might trade infrequently, which can lead to higher volatility in the share price and a wider spread between the prices at which you can buy and sell shares. 

Investing in any earlier stage company carries with it a range of risks. Companies might run out of money and be forced to raise at a discount to shareholders or these companies might run a greater risk of going out of business. 

That said, there are a number of AIM-listed companies that pay a regular dividend, indeed over half of the largest AIM-listed companies have paid a dividend in the last 12 months.

Below are some of the highlights of today’s new batch.

Beauty and fashion

  • Revolution Beauty Group - £REVB - a multi-brand, multi-category and multi-channel mass beauty innovator
  • Mulberry - £MUL - a famous fashion brand that produces a range of brand name soft leather goods, including hand bags and accessories. 

Technology businesses

  • Quantum Blockchain Technologies - £QBT - invests in and acquires companies in the tech sector with a focus on blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency miners 
  • Engage Xr - £EXR - makes VR software for educational purposes, helping businesses and schools create virtual training and learning environments. It’s all part of the metaverse!

Food & Drink

  • Virgin Wines - £VINO - provides a direct-to-consumer online wine retailer service.
  • Fulham Shore - £FUL - runs popular UK based restaurant chains including ‘The Real Greek’ and ‘Franco Manca’.
