Policy RoundUp Extra - February 2026

Dear Member,

Regulatory momentum is building on multiple fronts, with a clear emphasis on expanding retail access, early use cases for the new private‑markets trading venue, market abuse enforcement, NED roles ‘re‑imagined’, board diversity developments, stewardship recalibration and major developments in sustainability reporting, with the direction of travel being greater transparency and ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening London's competitiveness as a listing venue.

Below you will find ‘highlights’ of all the key developments, and what this means for IR teams (log-in required).
