The news that Goldman Sachs has joined the Alternative Investment Market’s (AIM’s) list of nominated advisers is yet more proof that Europe’s most successful junior bourse is going upmarket.
Goldman is by no means the first top-drawer name to join the 75-strong nomad roster. This year, equally prestigious names JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley have been approved, joining a group that already included the likes of Cazenove, Credit Suisse First Boston, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, Nomura and Rothschild. Just about everybody who is anybody is now involved in or moving into the market.
