Overview (TOKYO PRO Market)

TOKYO AIM, the previous form of TOKYO PRO Market, was established in June 2009 as a market operated by TOKYO AIM, Inc., which was created as a joint venture between Tokyo Stock Exchange Group, Inc. and London Stock Exchange, based on the provisions for markets for professional investors introduced in the 2008 amendments to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
The objectives of TOKYO AIM were to provide new opportunities for financing and advantages other markets could not offer to companies with growth potential in Japan and Asia, to offer new investment opportunities to professional investors at home and abroad, and to revitalize and internationalize the financial market in Japan. TOKYO AIM worked to realize agile and flexible market management by adopting the J-Adviser System based on the Nomad System of London AIM operated by London Stock Exchange. In July 2012, TOKYO AIM changed its name to TOKYO PRO Market, and since then Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. has continued to operate TOKYO AIM based on the original market concept.
