Research published yesterday (3 July) by Rathbones Asset Management found the overwhelming majority of UK wealth managers and financial planners view UK equities as “extremely cheap” and expect an increase in allocation from investors over the next three years.
The survey revealed 88% of wealth managers and financial advisers believe UK retail investors will increase allocations to the asset class in the next six months.
Looking at a three-year horizon, 81% still expect to see increases to UK equities from retail investors. None believed allocations would decrease from current levels.
UK large caps are likely to be the biggest beneficiary of an increase in allocations, according to respondents, with 90% anticipating some form of increase.
This was closely followed by the midcaps, where 79% expect an increase. For UK small caps, however, only 53% expect an increase.
