In the UK in particular, the IPO market has not been attractive for some time. Allocations in new issues tend to be concentrated in a small number of large institutions and there is often not much support in the secondary market. Unlike in other countries, retail investors tend to be a small part of the market and don’t get much access.

Yes! Investment Company Directors should be paid more!
Funds Crescendo blog: 01 May 2026
We believe it is time that shareholders paid non-executive directors of investment companies more. This would lead to better outcomes for shareholders. Given prevailing conditions, current remuneration is often woefully inadequate. Higher remuneration would also attract a wider and deeper pool of talent.
