PIMFA welcomes Chancellor’s Mansion House Reforms to promote greater investment in the UK

PIMFA, the trade association for wealth management, investment services and the personal investment and financial advice industry, has welcomed the Chancellor’s Mansion House Reforms announced tonight, aimed at increasing investment in the UK.

Liz Field, Chief Executive of PIMFA, commented: “We welcome the Government’s efforts to make the UK more competitive and attractive to investors, and it is right that the Chancellor looks to build on the successful role of the City to ensure it remains one of the leading global financial centres while removing unnecessary regulations that have no relevance for UK financial markets.

“As the Chancellor rightly acknowledges, the UK has one of the largest retail investment markets in the world, and it is right that these Mansion House Reforms are focused on ensuring that British people will gain most from greater investment in growing UK businesses in retirement. PIMFA looks forward to working with the Government on how best this can be achieved.”
