This event took place on September 10th, 2009 at BDO Stoy Hayward's Baker Street offices.
Smallcap markets have shouldered the worst of the financial and economic crisis.
Companies are exiting the market at pace, either through financial collapse or disenchantment with the rating the market has awarded them and the likelihood of raising equity finance in the future. Similarly, investors are also steering clear of this area of the market, even though historically it has been recognised as the place where rewards can be greatest.
