UK pension funds are investing less in the London stock market, with allocations to UK equities dropping from around 40% to 9% in a decade. This shift has contributed to a decline in the number of London listings, which has fallen from about 3,250 to below 1,800. One idea to reverse this is using the roughly £50bn a year in pension tax breaks to encourage more UK stock market investment.
