Investment in AIM-listed stocks always draws young investors’ attention because a majority of the companies listed on the AIM index are at the start of their business cycle with a low market cap and offers an opportunity to make high returns. As of 31 August 2021, the FTSE AIM All-share index has returned 12.4% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, while its three-year total return stands at 21.1%.
Although, the investment return given by the AIM index looks attractive and fascinate many investors. Still, the investors need to be careful as many listed stocks can show volatile price movement and swing in both directions and may require staying invested for a longer time horizon to gain maximum return.
