Blackthorn Focus is proud to announce the launch of GROWTHfocus and INCOMEfocus, two new indices of shares listed on the Alternative Investment Market.
Using data supplied by Sharelock Holmes, Blackthorn Focus has established these two new indices to track the performance of AIM's growth companies.
GROWTHfocus is an index of the twenty largest companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market that have grown revenues year-on-year for the last five years.
INCOMEfocus tracks the share price progression of the twenty largest companies on AIM that have increased their dividends in each of the last five years.
"I am delighted with the launch of GROWTHfocus and INCOMEfocus" said David O'Hara, Founder of Blackthorn Focus. "The last two years have been an exceptionally difficult time for the UK's smallcap financial markets. Companies have struggled to get their achievements recognised by the investment community, even when they have been demonstrating continued success."
"The Alternative Investment Market is home to some incredibly successful small companies" Mr O'Hara added. "The launch of GROWTHfocus and INCOMEfocus will help bring these companies to the fore by recognising their progress and achievements."
GROWTHfocus and INCOMEfocus comprise two diverse groups of companies.
