I'd be interested if SS can let us know the number of Chinese investors in the platform, or, if more appropriate, give a breakdown of countries of residence of investors?
It looks like the meltdown in China is accelerating and there are plenty of stories of a clampdown on Chinese capital escaping overseas. I'd be interested to know therefore how directly reliant SS is on any Chinese money to keep the platform afloat?

In any case, once the money is invested you can only get it back on the SM, so even if there was a vast amount of money coming from China and if they suddenly decided to bail out, all that would happen is the SM would become less liquid.

Behave yourself ! You would soon be moaning because you can’t access your money because Jackie Chan sells all his investments ! You are right. I guess that without a price mechanism to balance demand and supply it is always going to be difficult to either buy or to sell on the SM. The situation we have now is preferable to the other one. And I don't like either of the two platforms that allow premium/discounts on their SM (FS and Abl)

But yeah there are certainly issues with premium/discount, although maybe there are alternatives at the platform level (cashback, for one, which tends to drag new funds in .. maybe there should be cashback on funds removed too, that'd free up the SM quite quickly. Or maybe negative cashback (cheaper for the platform) .. i.e. 'if you want to put £1k in today to invest on the Sm, it'll cost you £1010'.
