Can boosting shareholder communications and the UK’s stock-buying culture boost liquidity too?

Tell Sid: retail investors are back in vogue unlike at any time since the iconic advertising campaign that was created to drum up interest in the 1980s British Gas privatisation.

But no-one can agree how best to engage them. Virtual meetings and digital documents? Or face-to-face, just like in the old days? First of all, today’s crop of investors need to be clear of their rights and responsibilities.

This conversation features:

Archie Norman, chairman of Marks & Spencer, who is eager to adopt digital-first shareholder communications;

Lord Lee of Trafford, the Liberal Democrat peer and the UK’s first ISA millionaire;

Sheryl Cuisia, director of The Engagement Appeal;

Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor, one of the “big three” retail investment platforms.

It is chaired by Sangita Shah, non-executive chair of the property services group Kinovo and a QCA board member.
