New Capital Consensus

Britain’s investment system is amongst the most efficient in the world in moving money from A to B. But our research finds that it is fragmented, short-termist and misdirects money in a way that does not support UK growth or innovation, and does not produce the best individual and collective returns for savers.

New Capital Consensus is a coalition of non-commercial, apolitical organisations that have come together to explore how the current UK investment system contributes to the country’s current problems of low productivity, inequality and low levels of investment.

Its objective is to release more capital for investment. Previous attempts to achieve this have often failed or had unintended consequences because of the complex nature of the investment system. NCC understands that only a systemic approach to reform based on understanding the operation of the whole investment system will deliver the lasting and impactful change we all need.

We believe that this can only be achieved by:

Understanding how the system operates holistically and as a complex adaptive system;
Recognising the source of private investment resides predominantly in consumers retirement savings;
Developing a clear map of the system and an accurate quantification of and view on system stocks and flows;
Through this, identifying the policy levers capable of redirecting system flows toward more productive uses that benefit savers.
