Policy RoundUp - July 2025

Continuing the Government’s push for growth, the Chancellor’s second Mansion House speech this month announced a ‘Listings Taskforce’ to attract businesses to IPO in London, and the Leeds Reforms contained in the ‘Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy’ include measures to build a retail investment culture to help support UK capital markets, improve access to growth capital and scale-up finance, increase liquidity and drive forward the digitalisation of UK markets. New measures will also allow savers to invest in Long-Term Asset Funds (LTAFs) via stocks and shares ISAs, enabling retail investors to invest in private markets for the first time.
