Thank you Ros Altmann and Sharon Bowles for your leadership on this vital issue - the removal of Investment Companies from AIFMD and the end of misleading cost disclosure. The second reading of Baroness Altmann's Private Members Bill in the House of Lords today provided us all with a fascinating insight into the workings of or perhaps more accurately, the malfunctions of life in Britain today. Speaker after impressive speaker rose to speak in support of the Bill and perhaps unsurprisingly, the vote was passed unanimously. Baroness Kramer commented that she had never participated in debate in which every speaker was in support of the motion. Beyond Parliament, hundreds of people and companies (329 in total) working in financial services signed an LSE submission to an HMT consultation in January 2024 requesting that Investment Companies are removed from the replacement for PRIIPs, called CCI. The effect of which would be much the same as the passing of the Bill - they are aligned in their intentions. In response we hear of yet more consultations, more references to 'we must get this right', the Government thinks this is urgent and so on. HMT were reported to have been overwhelmed by the signatories to the LSE submission, many of whom also submitted responses separately. Many more were supportive, but were unable to sign. And in the meantime, ideas from the financial sector proposing solutions have been submitted time and time again. They have been welcomed by market participants, lawyers, representative bodies, parliamentarians - who else is there? And so it begs a simple question, who is there left to consult and what new information is there to be revealed? It's akin to dog returning to its food bowl 10 minutes after it finished eating desperately hoping it missed something really big and juicy. Today's proceedings in the House of Lords in full: https://lnkd.in/ef7mCmWG
We were encouraged to see the second reading of Baroness Ros Altmann’s Private Members Bill in the House of Lords today, in which she proposes to remove UK Listed Investment Companies from the AIFMD regulations; regulations that were introduced in 2013 specifically for the purpose of taming the ‘wild-west’ end of the fund market in the wake of the 2008/9 Financial Crisis. Subsequent legislation which covers all AIFs and to which the AIFM Directive applies have, in our view, been inappropriately applied to companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. No other country has done this, and these companies have been categorised as if they are funds, with variable capital and ongoing charges, which impact returns to investors and which are not subject to company and listing rules – as listed investment companies are. In the House of Lords, Baroness Sharon Bowles also began her speech in support of the Private Members Bill, proposed by Baroness Altmann with the following: “A series of legislative time bombs planted under Listed Investment Companies have culminated over the last two years, to force misleading information to consumers and strangle a thriving sector that is over a third of the FTSE 250.” Gravis, along with 329 signatories to the LSE response to HM Treasury’s consultation on this matter, urgently request that this misleading situation is resolved. We are required to publish two conflicting costs for investors, which makes no sense, and we urgently require an end to the confusion. Watch the whole speech here: https://lnkd.in/ebtpRvVA

Sept 30th, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a day intended to honor the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. It is a great opportunity for each of us to reflect on how we can work towards reconciliation every day. The process of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is helping us to re-conceptualize and transform our basic relationships. To apply the principle of the oneness of humanity to our common life, we need to work towards an organic change in the structure of our society. As we walk this path, we will learn lessons and practical measures that will help to guide the healing of other divisions between the world’s peoples. “It goes back to the understanding that we are collectively one human family, and if one part of that human family is ailing it affects all of us." https://lnkd.in/dEzx9K6Q
