The new UK Corporate Governance Code, to take effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, includes some far reaching changes, and the year ahead will be a period of review and change for many companies. Remuneration committees must look at how best to adapt to an expanded remit around workforce remuneration, as well as a greater focus on how judgment is used to ensure that pay outcomes are justified and supported by performance. Against this backdrop, 2018 has been a mixed year in the FTSE 250 executive pay environment. In terms of pay outcomes, the picture is relatively stable. Overall pay levels have fallen for FTSE 250 chief executives and we have seen continued momentum in companies adopting executive alignment features such as holding periods, as well as strengthening shareholding guidelines for executives.

This report, published by the BVCA and PwC, provides an historic analysis of private equity-backed IPOs in the UK between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2017. It looks at a number of metrics including the use of proceeds, pricing and performance to build a picture of the IPO market and the key trends with the market. The performance numbers are particularly revealing as they show that private equity-backed IPOs are trading on average 43.9% higher than their offer price for the period from IPO to 31 December 2017 compared to the non-private equity-backed IPOs of the same period which are trading at an average of 26.6% higher.
