ITY<\/a> traders are launching a market that will make it easier for big investors to buy shares in unlisted companies, potentially ending decades of frustration and aiding calls from the government for pension funds to give more support to \u201cfast growth<\/a>\u201d firms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With investors increasingly vexed with the stock market \u2013 share values are low which makes it hard to attract new London floats \u2013 JP Jenkins is linking with Square Mile stalwarts Winterflood Securities to match buyers and sellers in UK growth businesses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

JP Jenkins CEO Mike McCudden says:\u201cThere\u2019s a problem. Unlike the US, growth companies in the UK are unable to tap into the capital they need and mature companies find themselves with limited vexit routes. It\u2019s clear there\u2019s demand \u2013 from policymakers, politicians and the City \u2013 for more options to help these growth businesses flourish, but the longer it takes, the more wealth creation we see leaving the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

JP Jenkins is using tech from parent company InfinitX to link its systems with Winterflood.<\/p>\n

That means buyers can trade these securities from their current trading platforms, providing a huge improvement in accessibility.<\/p>\n
