The London Stock Exchange has named the 28 members of its new consultative group, Exchange Markets Group, it has launched a bid to be seen as more ready to listen to its users and members.

The 28 come from a wide spectrum of financial/equities businesses, ranging from the LSE itself, investment banks, brokerages, fund managers, a venture capital firm, and a clearing house. The group will publish quarterly updates and will meet at least six times a year. One or two further appointments to the group could be made next year.
