Agenda Day 1

2:10 PM FIRESIDE CHAT: How can treasury leaders prepare for the FCA’s proposed changes to the bond issuance prospectus regulation, and what potential benefits does this have?

In November 2023, the UK government laid out potential changes to the legislative framework around prospectus regulations, proposing replacement of the current regime in the first half of 2025. This will have a wide range of impacts for financial institutions, but specifically, this may re-open a £2tn retail investor market for treasury bonds. This session will consider what this means for group treasurers, and how they make the most of this new opportunity:

 

  • The FCA proposals in full – what will potentially be possible in 2025, and who can potentially take advantage of these opportunities?
  • How can treasurers prepare for these changes?
  • Understanding the investor perspective: how will investors seek to access this market, and what value will they get out of this form of investment?
