As we curated the Investor Summit our intention was to discuss the most important investing issues of the day. Which is why Sam Bell, the Summit Co-founder, pushed hard for a panel discussion covering what we called ‘The Rise of Retail’: the persistent lack of retail investor participation in the UK’s investment landscape.

Compared to markets like the US and the Nordics, the UK is decades behind in building a true culture of personal investing. As Moderator Maike Currie says, “We’ve wrapped the individual investor in cotton wool, driven by well-intended but ultimately limiting regulation post the 2008 Financial Crisis.”

Maike was joined on her panel discussion by:
William Fenna from the London Stock Exchange, representing a fresh perspective from within an institution actively working to evolve
James Deal from RetailBook, a platform building new models to open up IPOs and placings to individual investors
Lord Lee, the UK’s first ISA millionaire, and one of Britain’s most successful retail investors - a case study in the power of long-term investing
