Abstract

The literature review showed a lack of research on risk for small cap markets. In total roughly one hundred published pieces were identified, many of which related to the now defunct Neuer Markt and/or to IPO pricing. There are two main relevant results from the review. Stocks switching between markets have not been associated with changes in risk. Also, there are a number of risk-related characteristics of companies – in particular, size, age and industry – that tend to be related to the market on which these companies are listed.
