Meta Description:
Explore the Investment Association’s latest recommendations aimed at increasing private market investments to support and grow UK businesses effectively.

The UK investment landscape is evolving, and the latest recommendations from the Investment Association (IA) are set to make a significant impact. These strategies focus on boosting private market funding to drive economic growth and enhance the competitiveness of UK businesses on a global scale. Let’s dive into what these strategies entail and how platforms like Oriel IPO are perfectly positioned to leverage these opportunities.

Strengthening Institutional Reforms

One of the key recommendations is to strengthen the delivery of institutional reforms. This involves developing investment products and offering education and training to help pension schemes navigate practical barriers. By supporting the consolidation of small Defined Contribution (DC) schemes into larger “mega-funds,” the IA aims to enhance economies of scale and improve member outcomes.

Oriel IPO’s Investment Hub plays a crucial role here. Our platform provides a seamless connection between investors and entrepreneurs, making it easier for pension funds and larger schemes to find and invest in promising startups through SEIS and EIS opportunities. This not only aligns with the IA’s vision but also ensures that investors have access to high-growth potential projects.

Maintaining a Pipeline of Investable Projects

The IA emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clear and transparent pipeline of investable projects. This clarity ensures that both the government and private investors have a steady stream of projects to invest in, particularly in high-growth sectors identified in the UK’s Industrial Strategy.

At Oriel IPO, we understand the need for a robust project pipeline. Our platform continuously curates and updates investment opportunities, ensuring that investors have access to the latest and most promising projects. This proactive approach helps in sustaining investor interest and maintaining momentum in private market investments.

Increasing Retail Participation

Expanding retail participation is another critical strategy. The IA suggests allowing Long-Term Asset Funds (LTAFs) within Stocks and Shares ISAs to broaden access to long-term investment opportunities. Clear and transparent disclosures on risk, liquidity, and fees are essential to enable informed participation.

Oriel IPO’s Member Tools are designed to empower retail investors with the knowledge they need. Our comprehensive resources, including EIS/SEIS guides and tax calculators, help investors make informed decisions. By simplifying access to early-stage investment opportunities, we make it easier for retail investors to participate in private markets confidently.

Greater Education on Private Markets

Education is paramount in reducing risk aversion and increasing participation in private markets. The IA recommends developing a coordinated education programme to raise awareness about the role, risks, and returns of private market investments.

Through our Member Tools, Oriel IPO offers extensive educational resources tailored to different audiences, including DC scheme trustees, LGPS pools, and financial advisers. By providing these resources, we help demystify the investment process and build investor confidence.

Incentivising Early-Stage Development

Incentivizing early-stage development by expanding co-investment programmes is essential to attract private capital into strategic sectors and regions. The IA supports initiatives like those run by the British Business Bank, which reduce investment risks through junior public stakes or first-loss guarantees.

Oriel IPO aligns with this strategy by offering a platform that facilitates co-investment opportunities. Our commission-free investment process and secure marketplace make it easier for investors to engage in early-stage funding, thereby supporting the growth of high-potential startups across the UK.
