With rising concerns that the fast-growing private credit market could experience significant stress in a financial crisis, see what Configure Managing Partner James Hadfield had to share on this topic in his recent conversation with April Joyner of LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group). https://lnkd.in/ew6MSBaj #PrivateDebt #PrivateCredit #PrivateEquity #InvestmentBanking

With our ambitious agenda as a nation to get behind innovation and high growth businesses, we must strive to unlock investment from different pools of capital – be that pension funds or angel investors, whilst also making it easier for these investors to seek returns and liquidity. This ultimately gives founders and scaling companies greater choice and flexibility when seeking investment and benefits savers and the overall economy.   We welcome the Chancellor’s support of this agenda, specifically the continued focus on a new regime that allows private companies to have their shares bought and sold on an exchange (PISCES). Over the last couple of years we have been working with our strategic partner London Stock Exchange on ensuring a seamless funding continuum for growing companies. The transparency with control offered by Floww when engaging with existing and potential investors and the ‘secondary-ready’ structure when raising on Floww help businesses efficiently connect to their next set of investors – be that while remaining private or by accessing public markets.

PLC QTRLY provides updates on key developments relevant to issuers on AIM and the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. This quarter, Connor Cahalane, James Channo and Karen Hendy provide updates on: 🔍 New proposed FCA Prospectus Rules 📈 FRC Annual Review of Corporate Reporting 2023/24 💡 Updates following introduction of new UK Listing Rules 📝 FCA policy statement on payment optionality And more! #LondonStockExchange #StockExchange #AIMMarket #FRC #CorporateReporting #Finance

Major proposals for the UK's #capitalmarkets 🚀 - The FCA's proposed changes to the Prospectus Rules include increasing the prospectus threshold from 20% to 75% - a change that would significantly reduce the cost and timeframe for companies to raise money on the London Stock Exchange. I have long argued that the current 20% limit is a serious impediment to companies choosing to list or dual list on the LSE's Main Market. This proposed change, which is at the upper end of my expectations, together with the changes to the Listing Rules that come into force today, will make the London markets much more attractive for overseas companies. More detail can be found in the FCA's consultation paper CP 24/12, which contains full details of this and the other proposals -https://lnkd.in/etqHtBqN The consultation period runs until 18 October 2024, with the final rules expected to be confirmed by the end of H1 2025, and introduced thereafter. The Bird & Bird London Capital Markets team can advise on what the proposed changes mean for you. LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) #capitalmarkets #londonstockexchange #ipo

It’s time we modernise and change the UK investor relations industry. Currently it’s stuck in the land of synergy, newspapers, fancy dinners and the Tell Sid syndrome. Old, Boring and Obsolete. We need to shift the industry into the 2020’s and eliminate all the obsolete and outdated practices. #ir #investorrlations #comms #stocks #ftse The Investor Relations Society Professional Development LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group)
