Despite the 'Bang' and the 'Crash', London still good market for U.S. firms
Article Abstract:
US companies find that listing on the UK's London Stock Exchange and Unlisted Securities Market offers growth potential despite problems caused by the deregulation of UK investment banking in 1986 and the worldwide crash of Oct 1987. The UK offers a growing base of sophisticated investors and boasts a strong economy. UK investors are currently more receptive to initial public offerings (IPOs) than US investors, partially due to attractive IPO tax advantages in the UK. The falling US dollar also makes IPOs by US firms popular with UK investors. Analysts expect the UK market to strengthen as it adjusts to the new rules of deregulation.
