No retail investors and no reporting requirements, I'm pro capitalism but why should only the largest people own private SME's? I appreciate buying stocks in your local "metal work shop 'done good'" comes with risk, but really? So much risk that only the big players can play? Seems wrong - its not going to stop foreign countries buying up the market?
- nobodywillobsrv 2y agoYes, it is wrong. Regalar people are allowed to put money in SIPP's that can have their IHT relief or anything changed at the whim of the government but actualy regulated companies are a no-no. The UK is going down hill fast. What we really need is exposure limits. Most trading platforms and even pensions ask you all kind of questions about income and wealth. There is no reason we can't simply have simple rules around percent of wealth invested in higher risk stuff. It would at least be better than literally instituting a class system and making things inaccessible to a large percentage of people.
