Article Abstract:

Private investors in the UK face a number of problems such as pressure to use nominee accounts and the possibility of exclusion from many new share issues from 1996.

ProShare is a lobby group for private investors and is seeking better tax treatment. This appears unlikely under the present government or if the Labor Party gains power.
