Day 1 | 14th May

8:30 AM European Equities Outlook Keynote Panel: Examining Europe’s competitiveness on the global stage: What is the financial services sector wish-list for the new regulatory and political regime that will enable UK and EU capital markets to grow and flourish?

London’s share of IPOs has plunged in recent years. The UK now only accounts for just 5% of global IPO’s whilst the US claims around 40%. But it’s not all doom and gloom for the UK and EU public markets, with new legislative and regulatory reforms looking to transform Europe’s competitiveness in the battle for IPOs.

In this opening fire-side chat you will hear the candid views of top bosses from an asset manager, investment bank and stock exchanges on the state of the UK and EU’s IPO market, and what reforms regulators and governments need to prioritise to support the growth of European capital markets.

How does policy and regulation need to evolve to reverse the outflow of capital and companies from the UK and EU’s public markets?
What are the key reforms that the investment management industry need to see to help revitalise the LSE’s IPO market?
How can industry tackle depressed investor interest in the UK and EU stock market?
How can we re-balance our approach to equity risk- taking to help reinvigorate public markets?
