17 OCTOBER 2024, 10 PATERNOSTER SQUARE, LONDON

In collaboration with New Financial, we are delighted to invite you to a private event to launch the latest report on ‘The future of smaller company capital markets in the UK’.

The structural decline in UK capital markets over the past few decades has climbed up the political and media agenda in recent years. But there has been less focus on the existential crisis in smaller company capital markets. The report and launch event drill down behind the headline numbers to analyse:

• The unique challenges facing smaller listed companies
• The challenges facing the industry and ecosystem around smaller listed companies
• Why we should care about a vibrant smaller company equity market
• The main drivers behind this decline
• What the industry and government can do to address the problem

We expect participants to be a combination of market participants focused on mid- and small-caps, policy specialists, policymakers, and regulators.

Speakers and panellists at the event include:

• Sir Douglas Flint – chairman, abrdn
• James Ashton – CEO, QCA
• Chris Elms – CEO, Euroclear UK & International
• Abby Glennie – deputy head of smaller companies, abrdn
• Marcus Stuttard – head of UK primary markets & AIM, London Stock Exchange
