Winterflood is featured in the Financial Times article: ‘UK regulator to ease retail investor access to corporate bond market’. The article discusses how the UK regulator has announced plans in their consultation paper CP25/2 to widen access to the corporate bond market to retail investors.
Simon Walls, the FCA Interim Executive Director of Markets also commented on how they are “opening the door for corporates to issue bonds in small sizes so that a wider range of investors can invest in them.” He further commented that this would give “more choice for investors”.
Michael Smith, CFA, Head of Debt Capital Markets at Winterflood said: “We are fully supportive of what the FCA is doing here.”
