Deep dives
Disconnection from Capital Markets
The UK's society has become increasingly disconnected from its capital markets due to regulatory changes that complicate retail investment. Regulations that were intended to protect investors have inadvertently made access to financial markets more challenging. Over the years, this has disenfranchised retail investors, making it difficult for them to feel a stake in their economy. A sense of ownership is essential for citizens to engage with the companies that drive growth and innovation, which is crucial for funding public services and infrastructure.
