UK pension funds urged to invest in scaleups

Will Hutton highlights the need for UK pension funds to invest more in the nation’s growing scaleup companies.

He points out that while the country has strong innovative capabilities, addressing the growth challenge requires new incentives to channel investment from pension funds into innovative businesses.
