Balqis Capital has announced that its flagship Balqis Bond now offers direct exposure to initial public offerings (IPOs) on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM), combining the growth potential of equity with the security and structure of private credit.
The AIM market has become a respected launchpad for revenue-generating, fast-growing companies that have moved beyond the volatile startup stage. Balqis Capital is using this access to offer its investors early-stage equity participation, without the high-risk profile usually associated with such opportunities.
Mary Trimithiotou, Chief Finance Officer of Balqis Capital, said: “This approach anchors the bond to early access AIM listing opportunities – typically the preserve of institutions – through a secured private credit structure.
“By acquiring shares at the initial placing price, bondholders benefit from public market transparency, established governance standards and participation in companies with proven commercial models. It’s an innovative and distinct approach in a very crowded market,” she added.
AIM Listing Highlights for Investors:
- Growth-stage equity exposure – Balqis acquires shares at the offer stage of AIM IPOs, providing a built-in equity uplift without exposure to speculative start-ups.
- Transparency and liquidity – AIM-listed firms provide real-time valuations and regulatory disclosures, ensuring investors can track performance and governance.
- Institutional-grade structure – The AIM component complements the broader Balqis Bond, which offers a 10.25% fixed return alongside exposure to private credit and structured debt.
- High yield growth opportunities – We also offer a structured growth strategy targeting a 20%+ annual return through selective private market placements.
The inclusion of AIM IPO access within a private credit vehicle reflects Balqis Capital’s commitment to delivering sophisticated, diversified investment opportunities tailored for high-net-worth individuals, advisers and family offices.
