Manchester-based advisory boutique Zeus Capital has emerged as the top adviser to companies listing on London’s Alternative Investment Market this year, according to new figures, as the junior stock exchange continues to enjoy a mini-boom.

Zeus, founded in 2002, has worked on IPOs with a value of $863 million so far this year, according to data provider Dealogic. This is more than double the value of its closest competitor, Cenkos Securities, which worked on AIM listings worth $371 million so far this year.
