Financing Investment Reforming finance markets for the long-term
34
Conclusion and summary of proposals
Reforming financial markets is key to upgrading the UK to a high-investment,
high-productivity and high-paying economy. Working alongside industrial
policy, corporate governance reform and macroeconomic strategy, financial
intermediation can shape both the supply of and the demand for investment.
The market in bank loans and private equity investors governs the supply of
capital to UK firms that can’t finance their investment needs internally. But the
markets and institutions that handle and trade public and private equity also
intermediate ownership in shares of more than half the private sector economy.
This means that, as a system, they shape the priorities and incentives that
eventually determine investment decisions across the UK’s largest businesses.
Reform of our financial system should therefore be focused on improving the
flow of capital to the businesses most in need of investment, and aligning the
incentives between company directors and the long-term savers who, ultimately,
own their shares.
Raising SME investment requires shifting the focus of bank lending to small,
high-growth firms. Banks’ current reliance on traditional property collateral for
business lending means that horizontal interventions alone, such as the Funding
for Lending Scheme, will not ensure finance reaches the places it is most needed
to upgrade the economy. Instead, we propose that:
•
the Bank of England should consider the case for raising the relative cost of
real estate lending
•
the Government should look at helping the private sector develop ways of
using intellectual property as collateral
•
the Government capitalises new specialist banks that can develop the
expertise necessary to finance currently under-capitalised projects, both in
particular sectors and in particular regions of the country.
Aligning incentives in equity markets and promoting longer-term corporate
investment requires changing incentive structures for the institutions and actors
that intermediate share ownership. We propose that:
•
the Government strengthens the legal fiduciary principle that applies to
pension trustees and extends it to asset managers, brokers and other
institutions that act as shareholding intermediaries
•
a new Responsible Ownership Commission is established to help institutions
interpret their fiduciary duty and ensure that there is sufficient disclosure of
information to monitor and enforce behaviour
•
the Government scraps the ‘market maker’ relief on stamp duty reserve tax to
reduce short-term speculative trading
•
the funds raised from this are used to introduce new reliefs in capital gains tax
and corporation tax designed to incentivise longer-term ownership of shares.

Discussion Paper
The IPPR Commission on Economic Justice is a landmark initiative to rethink
economic policy for post-Brexit Britain. The Commission brings together leading
figures from across society to examine the challenges facing the UK economy and
make practical recommendations for reform.
This discussion paper explores the reform of business finance markets. It argues
that the UK’s weak investment performance stems in part from how – and in whose
interests – British finance markets are configured. Drawing on a wide range of
evidence, it argues that the financial sector is not serving the rest of the UK
economy well. It shows how bank loans are skewed towards inter-bank credit,
real-estate and traditional collateral, and how public equity markets fail to align
the incentives of the UK’s largest companies with the savers who ultimately own
their shares. The paper makes a series of recommendations on how investment can
be raised, by improving the supply of patient capital to high-growth firms and
changing the incentives for equity markets to act in the long-term good of
companies, workers and savers.
