In 2024, for example, Flutter Entertainment said it would be able to access “the world’s deepest and most liquid capital markets” in New York, while Tui said less than a quarter of its share trading took place in London, compared to its other listing in Frankfurt.\n\n“People in the market know this (the under-reporting) is a problem,” Walls said. “But it does dog us because sometimes when an issuer has historically chosen to move from the UK to the US, one of the thoughts is that liquidity is lower in the UK and often it’s not true.”The FCA has been circulating a ‘myth-busting’ document over the past year which claims that real liquidity across FTSE indices is comparable to the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. The move is the latest step in the last few years to try and re-invigorate the UK’s public markets following a bruising few years. In 2024, about 88 companies either delisted entirely or transferred their primary listing from the UK.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
