London listing brand should look to Gucci
WV&Z has contributed content on recent developments of London’s Alternative Investment Market rules and regulations to The D&O Diary in the past few days, which has resulted in two posts, here and here, both a well recommended read.
On the same topic of UK market regulation, the Financial Times (Lombard) yesterday presented its case for the Financial Services Authority - who in its capacity as UK Listing Authority is the competent authority for listing - to learn from Gucci’s brand management mishaps in the past in managing the integrity of its “London listing” brand. (The consultation paper the article refers to on hedge fund listings is CP06/21: Investment Entities Listing Review.)
