State Street research reveals appetite for UK securities
August 29, 2013--New research from SPDR ETFs, the exchange traded funds platform of State Street Global Advisors, reveals over two thirds (69.7%) of IFAs have a positive outlook on the UK economy, and just 2.4% have a negative view.
Out of the 166 independent financial advisors polled, 40% are planning to increase their clients' exposure to UK securities over the next six months, compared to only 2.5% who intend to reduce it.
In recent weeks, there has been positive news on the UK economy including growth in GDP, increasing business and consumer confidence and improving employment figures," says Eleanor Hope-Bell, head of UK SPDR ETFs. "Given this, plus the fact that investors are feeling increasingly positive towards UK PLC, we are not surprised we have seen inflows into our UK focused ETFs."
