📢The BVCA is pleased to announce that Emma Reynolds will be at the #BVCASummit2024. The newly appointed Minister for Pensions within the Treasury and Department for Work and Pensions, has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at the UK Pensions Summit on 11 September. The Minister will have an opportunity to address the importance of broadening UK pension fund access to private capital, and the Labour Government's ambitions for fostering economic growth and the role that private equity and venture capital can play in achieving this. With the UK receiving 16 times more investment into its private capital and thriving businesses from global pension funds than from UK pension investors, we have a significant opportunity to work together to boost UK pension fund investments into exiting UK businesses, and ensuring that UK retirement savers can enjoy the same high levels of returns that their US, Canadian and Australian counterparts do. The Pensions Summit will see representatives of the venture capital and growth equity industries, with representatives of the UK pensions sector coming together to report on the findings of the Pensions and Private Capital Expert Panel, whilst discussing new and innovative strategies to unlocking funds that can drive economic growth. View the full agenda here: https://lnkd.in/dR6-g5P Emma Reynolds MP is not the only special guest appearing this year. On 12 September, the Summit Main Conference will take place, where you can hear directly from leading experts like: 💷 Janet Henry, Global Chief Economist HSBC, on the changing economy 🗞️ Robert Peston, ITV’s Political Editor, on the evolving political landscape 🏎️ Claire Williams OBE, Former Deputy Team Principal, Williams Racing, on tech, leadership, and hopefully motorsport… 🏁 ✅ Secure your spot now!

📣 #VentureCapital update ❗ Yesterday, the European Commission confirmed that they will not object to the extension of the sunset clause for the UK Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Venture Capital Trust (VCT) scheme. The schemes can now be extended to 2035. This is a welcome step forward for the #venture community and will ensure that the UK remains one of the best places in the world to start and grow a business. The BVCA now urges the Government to act on this to confirm the extension as soon as possible. For more information, contact the BVCA's Head of Venture Capital, Chris Elphick.

Building a better economy for the future takes investment. 🔹 The BVCA's latest Report on Investment Activity found that #privateequity and #venturecapital backed UK businesses with over £20bn of #investment in 2023 alone. 🌍 This is UK-wide investment. The majority of this investment went to companies outside London, and 80% of jobs backed by private capital in 2023 were outside London. 🔬 Businesses in communications technology, biotech and healthcare, and business services saw the highest volume of investments. 📈 This report showcases a range of successful business from around the UK showing what private capital investment means on the ground - jobs, innovation and growth. 📊 However, the report also highlights that, while pension funds represented 28% of the total capital raised for UK-managed funds, only 3% of this capital came from UK pension funds. We must unlock this potential additional #pensions investment to boost businesses and returns for UK savers. The private capital industry is in good shape to work as a partner to deliver the economic growth that the UK needs. Read the Report on Investment Activity here: https://lnkd.in/eXr89xAF

🚀 UK scale-ups are increasingly relying on overseas investors to grow 🌍 New research published by the BVCA and Beauhurst found that UK #scaleups increasingly rely on foreign investment to expand operations due to a shortage of late stage and follow-on funding from UK investors, widening the 'scale-up gap' in investments. Findings revealed: 📈 Beauhurst: Since 2019, the proportion of foreign investment in larger UK #venturecapital deals has risen significantly, highlighting a need for stronger domestic funding frameworks. 💷 BVCA: Only 3% of UK pension fund investment in British private capital comes from domestic sources. An important part of closing the scale up gap is unlocking greater levels of domestic institutional investment such as investment by UK defined contribution #pension schemes, through initiatives like the British Business Bank's Growth Fund or a UK TIBI scheme. The BVCA is backing efforts to increase investment by UK pension funds in #privateequity and venture capital in order to support the growth ambition of British scale-ups and generate stronger returns for UK pension savers. The Pensions and Private Capital Expert Panel will release recommendations in September to increase UK pension fund investment in high-growth private businesses. 📅 Click here for more information on the research – https://lnkd.in/e3HpXYEy And here to learn more about the BVCA UK Pension Summit in September - https://lnkd.in/ea-Sj9VW
