The Financial Services Authority ("FSA") has approved ARC Associates ("ARC"), a specialist investment banking and advisory firm to the TMT, financial services and property sectors to act as a Nominated Adviser. ARC is therefore approved to act on an ongoing basis as the Nominated Adviser to companies that are quoted on London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
John Allen, Chairman of ARC, welcoming the FSA's approval: "The AIM market has been a hugely successful means for many smaller growth companies to obtain a public quotation and raise capital. We look forward to acting as Nominated Advisor to AIM-quoted companies in our specialist sectors including Telecommunications, Technology, Media, Financial Services and Property. We are also able to provide services to rapidly evolving companies in other sectors.
"Our approach is different from other Nominated Advisors. We offer specialist knowledge service in particular sectors, utilising our skills developed over more than 10 years assisting corporate clients in developing, and expanding their businesses.
"We are known for offering in depth insight and practical execution advice and we intend to bring this same clarity of thinking to the listing process and capital raising market as a NOMAD."
ARC Associates is a specialist investment banking and advisory firm to the telecommunications, media, technology, financial services and property sectors.
