Abstract

"L'Alternative Investment Market (AIM), dédié aux petites et moyennes capitalisations, a été créé en 1995 par le London Stock Exchange (LSE). L'AIM est devenu un marché de référence pour de nombreuses places boursières. Il repose sur un modèle de marché particulier où des intermédiaires privés, les Nomads, se substituent dans une certaine mesure à la régulation du LSE. Cet article interroge la nature du succès de l'AIM. À partir d'une revue de la littérature empirique, nous mettons en lumière les forces et faiblesses de ce marché. D'un côté, l'AIM est caractérisé par un dynamisme en termes d'entrées, d'opérations d'augmentation de capital, et de sorties volontaires. De l'autre côté, les performances opérationnelles des entreprises se révèlent inférieures à celles d'entreprises similaires sur d'autres marchés boursiers, l'AIM ne jouant pas le rôle d'un tremplin pour les firmes innovantes. Les conclusions de cet article doivent permettre d'éclairer les décideurs quant à l'élaboration de marchés juniors."
