Revitalising UK investment & growth – podcast with William Wright

William Wright and his team at New Financial are central to rethinking UK capital markets and providing the data to recognise and respond to the issues.

Pensions are central to this, given their scale (£2.5tn & 3rd largest pool worldwide) and their role in the decline of UK capital markets. Reform is now firmly on the agenda with the government announcing a review aiming to boost investment and improve returns. This is essential if pensions are to be of sufficient scale to support a comfortable retirement.

In this podcast we discuss the issues in UK capital markets, the drive for pension reform and potential for other measures to improve UK capital markets.

Momentum for change – there is now a clear recognition that change is required. The UK is at the start of a material reset, which has the potential to materially improve the level of domestic investment and long-term growth rate.
