We're excited to share insights on the evolving landscape of ESG ratings and data regulation and practical issues surrounding these in the equity and debt capital markets. As sustainable investing becomes more mainstream, addressing the unregulated nature of these products has become crucial. James Koessler, Senior Associate - Equity Capital Markets commented "Both regulation and market pressures are expected to gradually lead to higher quality and more extensive ESG data in capital markets documentation. The resulting standardisation could ultimately create common metrics for ESG ratings, shifting providers further from collecting to interpreting data. This trend would benefit investors whilst also potentially reducing the burden on companies."

Today, the FCA published new rules that mark a significant shift from the UK listing regime that has been in place for over 30 years. These reforms consolidate the UK listing regime into a single listing category, making it easier for companies to qualify for a listing and reducing the ongoing obligations for listed companies. Effective from 29 July 2024, these changes aim to make the UK a more attractive market for IPOs and secondary listings. Read our summary of the 10 key takeaways on how the new listing regime will impact: 1️⃣ Companies considering an IPO or a secondary listing in London 2️⃣ Companies already listed in London 3️⃣ Investment banks acting as a listing sponsor on UK transactions Find out more about the implications of these changes below 👇
