Join us for the flagship Annual Investment Funds Conference 2025, hosted by the London Stock Exchange in partnership with RBC Capital Markets, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, KPMG, Burson Buchanan, JTC, Guernsey Finance, as well as AIC, CISI, Institutional Investor, PMI and The Investor Forum.
This event will bring together leading voices from across the capital markets ecosystem to explore how the UK’s evolving regulatory and investment landscape is shaping the future of the listed investment companies sector.
Keynote Address:
Sir Douglas Flint CBE, Chair, Aberdeen Group plc
UK capital markets are poised to benefit from a range of reforms designed to re-assert London’s position as a top global financial centre. We have seen the biggest reform to the listing rules in a generation, anticipated changes to the secondary capital raising rules, the announced launch of the Private Securities Market for private company shares under the PISCES regulation, a further commitment of risk capital via the Mansion House Accord, as well as governance and stewardship reforms to promote long-term value creation across the investment chain.
For the listed investment companies’ sector, the reform agenda presents an opportunity to attract new capital, to scale and channel the flow of investment into strategic areas of economic activity in the UK and globally, building upon its remarkable 157-year history.
The 2025 Investment Funds Conference will discuss the following topics at front of mind for industry participants:
- Active asset management – what is the future for actively managed strategies within the current competitive landscape?
- Accessing new capital pools – what are the emerging opportunities arising from reforms and market developments?
- Investing in the future – Space, Defence and Energy Security
- Re-activating the investor base – what are the imperatives for boards and market infrastructure?
- Future-proofing for growth – how is the investment companies sector reshaping for scale, liquidity and shareholder value?
We're delighted to announce our agenda and line-up of expert speakers:
