IC Weekender: Aim 100, podcast, Simon Thompson & more

IC Weekender email update
April 21, 2017

Our week ended with the first part of our annual Aim 100 review in which we assess the state of play among the biggest and best companies on London’s fast-growth junior market. For a wider discussion on the Aim 100 including the thoughts of our top stock picker Simon Thompson on some of his favourite companies on Aim, listen in to our free IC Companies & Markets podcast.

Meanwhile, Simon published two columns this week. Firstly he advised taking profits on some of his most successful recent recommendations and then he initiated coverage with a buy recommendation on an innovative micro cap.

Elsewhere this week, Algy Hall’s stock screen sought out low risk, high yield stocks following a formula which has outperformed the market handsomely over the past six years, Chris Dillow looked at defensive investing and our Sector Focus by Emma Powell examined what the life assurers are doing to adjust their businesses to the new regulatory landscape.
