PISCES is an innovative private market framework that allows private companies to auction shares to professional and institutional investors in intermittent trading events, rather than through continuous trading as in public markets.
PISCES is part of the government’s drive to reform capital markets, and the Economic Secretary to the Treasury welcomed this latest development as evidence of PISCES moving ‘one step closer to trading today.'
While the public disclosure of information prepared by companies for trading on PISCES 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, 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.
For advice on how these might be leveraged online, or to enhance investor communications and digital presence, please contact Harriet Rumball, Director of Investor and Sustainability Communications, for further information HRumball@blacksun-global.com.
