Markets

The government will attempt to boost small cap funding and liquidity by consulting on plans to allow AIM market stocks to be held directly within tax-efficient wrappers such as ISAs.

Greater investment choice is welcome especially the fact the AIM shares have an IHT advantage. Would be attractive for elderly investors looking to shelter some assets albeit at a much higher risk level. Pity most advisers aren't licenced/qualified to advise on them though.
