FCA: CP26/21: Proposed changes to the UK Listing Rules for closed-ended investment funds/ Engaging and enabling retail shareholders to vote – good practice
FCA is consulting on proposed changes to its UK Listing Rules for closed‑ended investment funds. FCA states that the changes are designed to strengthen the integrity of a board being able to act independently of any investment manager, apply consistent protections for all changes to investment manager fees and remuneration, and recognise the conflict arising where a substantial shareholder is also an investment manager. Responses are required by 14 August 2026. Alongside the consultation, FCA has published a note which sets out good practice to increase retail shareholder engagement and reduce barriers to voting.
