This report offers unique insight into what Charter signatory firms – from across the financial services industry – are doing to boost the proportion of women in senior ranks, who has hit and missed their targets, how they are developing diversity data and their different approaches to hybrid working. » Read more REPORT - BUILDING EU CAPITAL MARKETS FROM THE BOTTOM UP Analysis of pools of long term capital in the EU with a focus on pensions. » Read more * Report - Benchmarking ESG in banking and finance * Report - Unlocking the capital in capital markets * Report: HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter – Annual Review 2022 * Report - Building EU capital markets from the bottom up PUBLICATIONS PAPER – FROM BIG BANG 2.0 TO THE EDINBURGH REFORMS February 2023 • Rebooting UK capital markets post Brexit • by By William Wright and Maximilian Bierbaum Depending on your perspective, the Edinburgh Reforms are either ‘a bold collection of reforms’ (Jeremy Hunt); ‘a missed opportunity’ that is ‘too slow, too narrow, and too timid’ (The Daily Telegraph); a risky ‘bonfire of burdens on the City’ (Robert Peston); or ‘an extremely dangerous and wrong path to follow’ (Sir John Vickers). We think the reality is more prosaic. » Read more REPORT – FINANCING THE TRANSITION December 2022 • A reality check on ESG • by Christopher Breen Energy companies require more than $1 trillion per year in ‘transition finance’ to decarbonise their operations and hit their net zero targets by 2050. This report shows that transition finance as it stands is a long way short of raising the required amounts to clean up the energy sector; analyses why transition finance has not taken off in the same way as green finance; and outlines some ideas on how issuers, investors, investment banks, and policymakers can move the dial on transition finance. » Read more REPORT – A NEW NARRATIVE: HOW (NOT) TO TALK ABOUT BANKING AND FINANCE November 2022 • Making a better case for capital markets • by William Wright A rough guide to how (not) to talk about banking, finance, and capital markets. » Read more REPORT – A REALITY CHECK ON BIG BANG 2.0 November 2022 • The politics of capital markets • by Maximilian Bierbaum and William Wright For a few brief weeks, the UK government had a new tone towards financial services and a new sense of ambition, with a focus on ‘Big Bang 2.0’ and wanting to turn London into the ‘world’s leading financial centre’. While this reaffirmed commitment to the sector was welcome, this paper aimed to cut through some […] » Read more REPORT – THE POLITICS OF EU CAPITAL MARKETS September 2022 • The politics of capital markets • by Christopher Breen, Maximilian Bierbaum, and William Wright Analysis of the size, depth and growth potential of capital markets in Europe through the lens of political challenges. » Read more THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING JOBS IN UK BANKING AND FINANCE December 2022 • Capital markets • by William Wright Something funny seems to be going on with the banking and finance industry: the number of jobs in the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the UK economy is shrinking. As the industry prepares for ‘Big Bang 2.0’ the number of people employed by the industry has fallen to its lowest level since shortly after Big Bang 1.0 more than 35 years ago. » Read more REPORT – A REALITY CHECK ON GREEN FINANCE June 2022 • A reality check on ESG • by Christopher Breen Analysis of the size, growth and penetration of green finance in European capital markets. » Read more REPORT: HM TREASURY WOMEN IN FINANCE CHARTER – ANNUAL REVIEW 2021 June 2022 • Driving diversity • by Yasmine Chinwala, Jennifer Barrow and Sheenam Singhal 2021 was another big year for the Charter, with a third of signatories due to hit their targets. While more than three-quarters of the Charter signatories in this analysis have met or are on track to meet their targets for women in senior management, the average level of female representation has remained flat – at 33% year-on-year – for the first time. » Read more REPORT: PAPER 1: DIVERSITY TOOLKIT FOR INVESTORS June 2022 • Driving diversity • by Birgit Neu and Yasmine Chinwala Paper 1: Why do investors need a diversity toolkit?

We estimate that an additional 4,800 companies in the EU27 could raise an extra €535bn per year in the capital markets and that an additional €14tn in long-term capital could be put to work in the EU economy to help support a recovery. » Read more REPORT: SLOW PROGRESS – THE GENDER PAY GAP IN BANKING & FINANCE December 2021 • Driving diversity • by Eivind Friis Hamre This report is a unique analysis of the gender pay gap data at more than 400 firms from across the financial services industry highlights the slow progress made in tackling its large pay gap and the lack of women in the highest paid roles. » Read more REPORT: THE FUTURE OF EU CAPITAL MARKETS September 2021 • The future of EU capital markets • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos, Eivind Friis Hamre and William Wright This report analyses EU capital markets from the perspective of strategic autonomy. It shows that in most areas of activity the EU falls short and there is a lot of work to be done. Building bigger, better and more integrated capital markets needs to be an urgent strategic priority to develop sufficient domestic capacity to finance the EU economy and support a post-Covid recovery, reduce the EU’s reliance on third countries, and increase its international attractiveness and global influence. » Read more REPORT: HM TREASURY WOMEN IN FINANCE CHARTER – FIVE YEAR REVIEW July 2021 • Driving diversity • by Yasmine Chinwala, Jennifer Barrow & Panagiotis Asimakopoulos Five years since the launch of the Women in Finance Charter, this report assesses its impact on female representation and the wider diversity and inclusion agenda at signatory firms and across the financial services sector. » Read more REPORT: DRIVING GROWTH – THE NEW FINANCIAL GLOBAL FINANCIAL CENTRES INDEX June 2021 • Capital markets • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos Our unique index measures the relative scale of banking and finance in more than 60 markets across more than 40 metrics of domestic and international activity.

This qualitative analysis focuses on the progression of Black colleagues into leadership positions across the UK financial services industry. » Read more BREXIT & THE CITY: THE IMPACT SO FAR April 2021 • Rebooting UK capital markets post Brexit • by Eivind Friis Hamre & William Wright This report highlights the damage that Brexit has already done to the City of London. More than 440 firms in banking and finance have moved or are moving part of their business, staff, assets or legal entities from the UK to the EU.

This fourth Annual Review analyses the largest cohort yet, with data from 209 signatories. » Read more REPORT: UNLOCKING PRODUCTIVE INVESTMENT March 2021 • Rebooting UK capital markets post Brexit • by William Wright This report shows that while the UK is bursting with over £5.6 trillion in pools of long-term capital it faces a drought of the sort of long-term productive investment that the economy needs in the wake of the Covid crisis. Just 1% of pensions and insurance assets are invested in unlisted UK equities: this report highlights the barriers to unlocking more of this capital and suggests some solutions to put more of it to work in the UK economy. » Read more REPORT: THE WIDER CONTEXT ON UK PUBLIC EQUITY MARKETS January 2021 • Capital markets • by William Wright One of the biggest challenges and opportunities for UK capital markets is how to reinvigorate the new issue market and to make listing in the UK more attractive to UK and international companies alike.

December 2020 • The future of EU capital markets • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos This report shows that post-Brexit capital markets in the EU will be significantly smaller and less developed relative to GDP than they are today – and that the UK’s current dominance of EU capital markets activity will be replaced by the dominance of France and Germany. The report also raises some difficult questions over the future relationship between the EU and UK in key sectors. » Read more REPORT: A REALITY CHECK ON CAPITAL MARKETS UNION November 2020 • The future of EU capital markets • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos and William Wright This report analyses the development of EU capital markets since the conception of the capital markets union initiative and shows that while steady progress has been made at an overall EU level, growth has been patchy and there is still a lot of work to be done in individual member states. » Read more REPORT: BEYOND BREXIT – THE FUTURE OF UK BANKING & FINANCE October 2020 • Rebooting UK capital markets post Brexit • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos, Manuel Haymoz & William Wright This report analyses the shifting trends in European and global markets and identifies the big strategic choices the UK will need to make in the coming years on the future of banking and finance, capital markets, and the City of London. » Read more REPORT: COVID AND D&I – TIME FOR RADICAL ACTION September 2020 • Driving diversity • by Yasmine Chinwala and Jennifer Barrow How the Covid crisis is catalysing a step change in diversity and inclusion across the financial services industry.

The report identifies 1,000 large UK companies that use the capital markets to support their day-to-day business, raise capital, or manage their risks.

This short paper summarises 10 things that the industry should and should not be doing right now. » Read more REPORT: A REALITY CHECK ON EQUIVALENCE February 2020 • Brexit • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos & William Wright Over the past few months the debate on equivalence – an arcane but vital part of the future of the City post-Brexit – has generated as much heat as it has light.

April 2019 • Brexit • by William Wright The City may not like the hand it has been dealt by Brexit – but there is a lot more to it than being hung out to dry by the government Thrown under a bus, hung out to dry, or sold down the river: you don’t have to look very hard to find a lot […] » Read more REPORT: HM TREASURY WOMEN IN FINANCE CHARTER ANNUAL REVIEW March 2019 • Driving diversity • by Olivia Seddon-Daines, Jennifer Barrow and Yasmine Chinwala Three years since the UK Government launched the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter, it is having the desired impact – signatories are taking action to improve gender diversity and beginning to see positive results, according to New Financial’s latest research. » Read more REPORT: DIVERSITY & CULTURE January 2019 • Driving diversity • by Olivia Seddon-Daines, Yasmine Chinwala & Jennifer Barrow While culture and diversity have both moved up the agenda of the financial services industry, most firms treat them as distinct issues with discrete initiatives and separate reporting lines.

Diversity and Culture analyses the differences and similarities in how companies approach diversity and culture and why it matters. » Read more REPORT: THE NEW FINANCIAL GLOBAL CAPITAL MARKETS GROWTH INDEX January 2019 • Unlocking capital markets • by William Wright, Panagiotis Asimakopoulos & Eivind Friis Hamre Our unique index analyses the size, depth and growth potential of capital markets in 60 countries around the world across 25 different sectors of activity. It shows that capital markets in the US are by far the largest in the world today and are nearly twice the size of markets in Asia and Europe.

The report shows what goes on in the City of London is far more relevant to the everyday lives of millions of people living in the region than most people in the City or the North West would expect – and we hope that it encourages the industry to think differently about its role and impact. » Read more REPORT: THE NEW FINANCIAL INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRES INDEX September 2018 • Ecommerce reports • Brexit • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos Our unique index measuring the value of domestic and international banking and financial markets activity across nearly 30 metrics in nearly 50 countries shows that the US is by far the world’s top financial centre with the UK taking the second place – well ahead of other European countries. » Read more REPORT: DIVERSITY IN PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT September 2018 • Driving diversity • by Olivia Seddon-Daines & Yasmine Chinwala There is broad consensus that diverse voices enhance investment performance by increasing diversity of thought, which improves decision-making and investment idea generation while guarding against groupthink.

This report identifies the practical barriers to diversity in portfolio management, analyses what individual firms are doing to address these challenges – and highlights how the industry can work together to accelerate change. » Read more REPORT: UNDERSTANDING THE GENDER PAY GAP IN BANKING AND FINANCE July 2018 • Ecommerce reports • Driving diversity • by William Wright Our unique analysis of the gender pay gap data at nearly 400 firms from across the financial services industry highlights the wide range in the pay gap, bonus gap, and levels of female representation in different sectors of the banking and finance industry – and sets a benchmark to measure future progress. » Read more REPORT: THE SIZE, DEPTH & GROWTH OPPORTUNITY IN UK CAPITAL MARKETS May 2018 • Ecommerce reports • Unlocking capital markets • by Panagiotis Asimakopoulos Capital markets in the UK are the largest in the EU and are roughly twice as deep relative to the size of the economy as in the rest of the EU.
