Better than Black Friday: 300 new AIM stocks added

Beauty brands, Fashion, Blockchain, Law firms and more

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

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.

• Revolution Beauty Group - £REVB - a multi-brand, multi-category and multi-channel mass beauty innovator
