Abstract: Growth enterprise market (GEM), as an important component of the multilevel capital market, plays a significant role in perfecting the capital market structure, promoting the financing of hitech and small and mediumsized enterprises, and improving the governance level of listed companies. Based on the solvency, management capacity, profitability and growth potential of Chinas GEM listed companies, nine basic fiscal indexes of 355 listed companies were investigated, which include assetliability ratio, flow ratio, ROE, increase rate of main business revenue and total assets turnover. Then, a cluster analysis was given by using MATLAB software, whose findings indicated that there exists an obvious imbalance of trade and industry distribution, Chinas GEM listed companies can be divided into three clusters and their basic fiscal index analysis exhibits a comparatively strong similarity.

Key words: growth enterprise market (GEM), listed company, cluster analysis, fiscal index
