Canaccord Adams is a leading London Stock Exchange (LSE) sponsor and the number one broker to small cap companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), London's small cap exchange.

CA expertise in these markets allows it to source the lowest cost of capital, broaden shareholder bases and provide best execution liquidity to our clients.

In late 2005, CA acquired the Boston-based investment firm Adams Harkness (AH).  AH has an organization focused on Energy & Power Technologies, within which it has a subgroup specializing in Transportation Technologies.  Within its Transportation Technologies practice, AH seeks to support companies offering products and services in the following areas:

AH has advised and raised funding for several companies in the low and zero-emission transportation sector, including underwriting stock offerings for Impco and Quantum.
