Some Wall Street bosses are unlikely to attend a UK investor summit next month, dealing a setback to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s planned charm offensive aimed at luring billions of dollars to kick-start growth.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon and Blackstone Inc. chief Steve Schwarzman are among those unable to make it to the international conference on Oct. 14 due to scheduling problems, according to people familiar with the matter.
