Opportunities to list and raise capital in London are at their healthiest in five years. The unique combination of London’s balanced and robust regulatory standards, unparalleled choice of equity markets and the largest pool of institutional capital focussed on international companies has this year produced outstanding conditions, particularly for Canadian companies.  Over the past year, Canadian companies alone have successfully raised around US$250 million through primary and secondary issues on AIM and the Main Market.
