PISCES, part of the government’s drive to reform capital markets, offers a regulated secondary market for shares in private companies, permitting trading during specific intermittent windows rather than through continuous, public markets. Eligible companies will provide structured company information to institutional and accredited investors via a secure due diligence portal.
While the public disclosure of this information is not required, participation in a trading event is likely to raise a company’s profile and to enhance understanding of its investment proposition amongst both internal and external audiences.
At Black Sun Global, we see real value in companies proactively leveraging elements of their PISCES-ready materials and the work that goes into their preparation and approval. This might, for instance, include presenting an investment case and introductory investor pack on the corporate website, allowing companies to benefit from the heightened profile that a trading event on PISCES will provide.
Making the most of core submissions, and integrating them into broader communications, should not only deliver additional value from the PISCES process but also position companies for ongoing investor engagement as they continue to develop and grow.
With this latest news, the LSE has said it looks forward to welcoming the first private companies to utilise the market when they have completed their preparations.
At Black Sun Global, we can help companies turn their PISCES preparation into broader opportunity. Whether it’s shaping a compelling investment story, strengthening stakeholder reporting, or enhancing digital engagement, we work with businesses to ensure their efforts deliver lasting impact.
