Firstly, I don't know what A.I.M. stands for... (Alternative somethiing, something).

My understanding is it is an exchange for smaller businesses wanting to float.
It is a part of the LSE (London Stock Exchange).

The reason I am posting here is I want to know how to invest in companies on this exchange.
Obviously, a broker could be used.
However, if a person has an AIB share trading account can they trade on the A.I.M. stock exchange?

Maybe I have gotten this totally wrong and I'm talking a load of waffle but can someone explain the A.I.M. to me please?

Thanks...
 
You can buy shares on AIM through www.sharewatch.ie who charge €50 for deals up to €15000. I'm sure all Irish stockbrokers deal on AIM but Sharewatch are probably the cheapest.
 
You can invest on the AIM in an AIB Branch through Goodbodys.
I am in there, is it the new Irish Electrical Company you are going for?

Joe,
My preference if not to have to go to a branch/broker.
Can I invest in the AIM using my current AIB (Goodbodys) online share trading account?
And no it is not the new Irish electrical company I am going for.
