There are currently 194 companies quoted on the primary PLUS Market with a total market capitalisation of £2.45 billion. More than 855 companies are trading on the secondary PLUS TRS. During 2006, 61 companies joined PLUS. The amount of money raised by PLUS companies to date is £1.34 billion. This represents both primary and secondary issues.
