FinnCap’s strategy of specialising in small Aim-listed companies has been vindicated after the addition of five new clients took it up to second place in a league table of Aim brokers.

According to the quarterly Hemscott Aim Advisers Rankings Guide published on Monday, FinnCap’s total of 65 clients pushes it ahead of Arbuthnot Securities and Cenkos Securities in terms of the number of Aim-listed clients it brokers.
