U.K. names institutional investors to foreign-investment advisory board Bloomberg The U.K. government created an investment council, including representatives from sovereign wealth funds and pension funds, to advise on how to improve and enhance the U.K.'s business environment for foreign investors. Other members of advisory board represent the technology, energy and infrastructure sectors. Led by Minister for Investment Gerry Grimstone, the council will meet twice a year and on an ad hoc basis to give the Department for International Trade and the wider government high-level strategic advice. Board members will share their experiences of the U.K. market and views on the U.K.'s competitiveness. They will also advise on policy and regulatory changes that could improve the U.K.'s attractiveness as a destination for foreign investment.
