What does 2023 have in store for AIM?

WEBINAR: Join Fundamental Asset Management's Co-Founders Chris Boxall & Stephen Drabwell on Friday 25th November at 3pm as they cover the benefits and potential pitfalls of investing in Inheritance Tax qualifying AIM companies for income generation. 

AIM isn’t a market that’s generally considered for its dividend and income attractions, and we have always expressed caution on AIM companies paying out high dividends, when they should be putting their cash to better use.  However, the steep decline in share prices of many good-quality AIM companies has seen dividend yields soar to levels not seen since we started managing AIM IHT planning portfolios back in 2004 and the AIM of today is thankfully a far better market than it was back then.

With many AIM companies sitting on plenty of supportive cash, but their share prices languishing, these high yielders also have growth attractions as well.

We therefore thought it was an appropriate time to reassess the dividend and income potential of AIM companies for IHT planning purposes.

- The investable universe of big dividend paying AIM stocks
- Dividend yields and dividend cover

What does 2022 have in store for AIM – are the tax reliefs at risk?

In the last year, HMRC has accumulated record levels of Inheritance Tax revenue and there has been a significant growth in demand for Inheritance Tax planning advice.
The Chancellor has frozen tax thresholds until 2026 and with a rise in inflation expected over the coming years IHT planning will become an even greater theme for clients and advisers. 

How can AIM help?
AIM is one of the most successful growth markets in the world and an AIM IHT portfolio can qualify for 100% IHT exemption after two years. It can also sit within an ISA on platform and clients don’t lose control of their money.

How can AIM help your clients’ Inheritance Tax planning?

AIM continues to outperform the UK main market and continues to attract exciting growth companies.

But can it last?

Are valuations too stretched? Is there a correction around the corner? Could the tax benefit rug be pulled from under its feet?

Should you be concerned?

Join the Fundamental Asset Team to hear if these questions and others have merit and how they could affect the AIM market.

Is AIM heading for a fall...or is its outperformance set to continue?

Investing in AIM for positive & sustainable growth. A gimmick or a product of the ever-evolving AIM market? Join us for our next webinar session where we will be answering this question, debunking the myths and highlighting the truth of any limitations. 
We'll also be taking the time to discuss our recent decision to broaden our investment mandate to introduce positive sustainable growth into our AIM IHT portfolio.

Positive & Sustainable Growth in AIM for IHT. Unlocked!

Investing via Collective Investment Schemes has become the norm for the majority of UK retail investors, particularly when looking for exposure to UK smaller companies.

But are they all that they seem and are they the only choice?

Models of directly held equities are often overlooked, but investors could be missing out on the added value direct equity investment brings.

Those investing in AIM companies for Inheritance Tax planning purposes are obliged to hold direct investment in the underlying equity. This has seen AIM portfolios deliver very strong performance to clients not to mention attractive Inheritance Tax planning benefits.

We will also be giving our quarterly update on AIM. How is the market holding up? Where do we see its future going into Q4?
