What happened

Schroders and Beazley will cease trading next week after agreeing deals with foreign buyers earlier this year. This follows a trend of corporate takeovers, such as Harworth Group backing a £632 million offer from Peel Holdings. The London Stock Exchange is facing fears over market health due to a shortage of initial public offerings.
