The Close of the PISCES Consultation Period – An Opportunity for Private Market Growth
On 6 March 2024, HM Treasury published a consultation paper (the Consultation Paper) on the proposed creation of the Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES), a new trading platform that will offer private companies the ability to trade their securities intermittently. The aim of PISCES is to facilitate growth in the private market and to allow private companies an easier transition to public markets, as they will gain exposure to a wider breadth of investors within a bespoke regulatory environment that draws on existing public market regulations. PISCES will operate within a financial market infrastructure (FMI) sandbox, allowing the system and accompanying regulations to be trialled in a controlled setting for a proposed period of five years before the scheme is made permanent.
