Abstract
The main conclusion that comes out of this analysis is that the perception that AIM has higher volatility than the Main Market is perfectly understandable, but incorrect. Our simpler analyses generally find a large difference between the volatility of AIM and Main Market stocks. However as we move to more complex analyses differences in volatility between AIM and the Main Market are very small, usually not significant statistically and tend, if anything, to indicate a slightly lower volatility when on AIM.
