🚀 UK scale-ups are increasingly relying on overseas investors to grow 🌍 New research published by the BVCA and Beauhurst found that UK #scaleups increasingly rely on foreign investment to expand operations due to a shortage of late stage and follow-on funding from UK investors, widening the 'scale-up gap' in investments. Findings revealed: 📈 Beauhurst: Since 2019, the proportion of foreign investment in larger UK #venturecapital deals has risen significantly, highlighting a need for stronger domestic funding frameworks. 💷 BVCA: Only 3% of UK pension fund investment in British private capital comes from domestic sources. An important part of closing the scale up gap is unlocking greater levels of domestic institutional investment such as investment by UK defined contribution #pension schemes, through initiatives like the British Business Bank's Growth Fund or a UK TIBI scheme. The BVCA is backing efforts to increase investment by UK pension funds in #privateequity and venture capital in order to support the growth ambition of British scale-ups and generate stronger returns for UK pension savers. The Pensions and Private Capital Expert Panel will release recommendations in September to increase UK pension fund investment in high-growth private businesses. 📅 Click here for more information on the research – https://lnkd.in/e3HpXYEy And here to learn more about the BVCA UK Pension Summit in September - https://lnkd.in/ea-Sj9VW

In some good news recently, we’ve seen UK interest rates come down. Inflation has decreased significantly from a 40-year high of 11.1% to 2%, aligning with the Bank of England's target. But according to the Sunday Times, inflation is expected to increase again, just weeks after the Bank of England cut interest rates for the first time in over four years. Despite this however, interest rates falling is still a positive change for businesses and growth across the UK — and we’ll be monitoring interest rates closely over the next couple of months.
