Reuters reported the investor meetings earlier Thursday. A spokesperson for Shein declined to comment.
Shein confidentially filed papers with British authorities for a London listing, people familiar with the matter have said, after an earlier plan to float in New York was met with opposition from US lawmakers.
A listing would boost London’s stock market, which has been battling a dearth of IPOs and a string of defections from locally listed companies to the US. But the potential move has sparked criticism from advocacy groups and UK politicians.
Liam Byrne, the Labour chair of the Business and Trade Committee in the House of Commons, called for greater scrutiny of Shein’s supply chain last month amid allegations of forced labour.

A spokesperson for the company said at the time that Shein has a zero-tolerance policy for forced labour.
