The new figures from data provider Calastone show investment across the London Stock Exchange is slowing, leading to businesses being undervalued and foreign takeovers reaching a 14-year high.
This creates a vicious cycle as a lack of investment puts companies off choosing London to list new shares, in turn leading to fewer investments.

The London Stock Exchange took a significant blow. (Image: Getty)
Calastone's Edward Glyn warned that investors are "giving up" on Britain as they "shun" the London Stock Exchange following a poor year.
He told The Telegraph: "The UK stock market badly underperformed most of its peers in 2024 and this has only intensified the extent to which UK-focused funds are being shunned by investors.
"UK equity valuations are clearly cheap, but investors are capitulating, seemingly giving up hope that a long-awaited re-rating will occur."
Despite last year's disappointing numbers, cash outflows from UK-focused equity funds stood at a whopping ￡12 billion, and funds from UK-based investors reached ￡27.2 billion - an increase on the ￡19.8 billion in 2021.

Currently, 6.6% of pension pots are allocated to UK stocks, which marks a decrease from 7.6% last year.
This is a relatively small amount compared to other major economies around the world. In Canada, pension schemes invest four times more in infrastructure than in the UK, and in Australia they invest 10 times more in private equity.
The London Stock Exchange has backed Government reforms to boost the market, adding that it's undergoing "the most dynamic set of reforms anywhere in the world right now".
