UK FCA seeks to simplify bond market to lower entry barriers for retail investors and small issuers.

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to simplify the corporate bond market to make it easier for retail investors and wealth managers to participate. This includes proposing a single standard for bond prospectuses, reducing costs and barriers for companies issuing bonds, especially those in smaller amounts under £100,000. The FCA also considers creating platforms for companies to raise capital from retail investors, aiming to boost UK listed companies' growth and offer more investment options.
