Hear from our funds
We sat down with three listed funds in property, digital infrastructure, and life sciences to learn more about the closed-ended fund structure, how this supported their strategies and opened doors for their business.
Why choose the London Stock Exchange listed fund market?
Growth
The listed fund markets offers an efficient mechanism for growing a fund through further issuances and a permanent source of capital, enabling funds to upscale in size as their strategy evolves.
Liquidity
Secondary markets provide intraday liquidity facilitated by multiple trading channels. Investors can access listed funds directly through their stockbroker or platforms.
Large Investor Base
A well established and knowledgeable investor base with strong understanding of the fund market. Managers looking to launch new strategies can access deep pools of capital from institutional and retail investors.
Strong Ecosystem
High quality advisory community and sell-side research coverage. Advisers, banks, law firms, accounting firms and fund administrators provide support throughout the listed investment fund’s lifecycle.
Extensive
Test Marketing
At little to no cost, investment fund managers can gauge appetite from large institutional investors for their strategy, with guidance from an established ecosystem of financial advisors prior to any significant financial commitments being made.
Index Inclusion
Listing on the premium segment of the Main Market can enable eligibility for inclusion into the FTSE UK Index Series. The FTSE UK Index Series is designed to represent the platform of UK companies and potential inclusion of a fund in the key indices can drive incremental demand.
For more than 150 years, investors have looked to London’s investment funds market as a rich source of innovative growth and income opportunities. Last year, Life Science REIT became the first real estate investment trust focused on UK life science properties to list on London Stock Exchange.
London’s investment funds market is creating new opportunities for investors while funding a new wave of innovation. In March 2021, Digital 9 Infrastructure listed on the Specialist Funds Segment and has raised £845m in total across IPO and further issuances.
For Anthony Catachanas, CEO and co-founder of Victory Hill Capital Group, which manages the VH Global Sustainable Energy Opportunities plc, London’s listed investment funds market is uniquely suited to enable private investors to access sustainable energy infrastructure assets around the world.
