Unloved and misunderstood?
Article Abstract:
There are some 220 companies in northern England capitalized at less than 100 million pounds sterling and are listed on the main exchange or the Alternative Investment Market. Many such smaller companies are considering going private since they have problems raising acquisition funding, and their stock prices may have fallen. Smaller companies tended to outperform in 1987, but have tended to underperform since then. Smaller companies from northern England include IMS, Syltone, Brown and Jackson and DBS Management.

Poor communicators
Article Abstract:
Smaller companies have tended to be unpopular with investors, and this is partly because investment funds held by institutions have grown larger, so they seek to make larger investments. Smaller companies can still make themselves more attractive by attending to communication with investors. Profit warnings from smaller companies may not be reported in the press, but they can write directly to stockholders. Companies may also be able to use the internet to communicate with their investors.
