Tariffs and turbulence: how confidence has been rewired

We’ve been diving into the minds of UK investors for six years. But now we’ve taken things up a gear, by also studying ‘The Intenders’ – those who haven’t yet made it over the line into investing.

Intentional attitudes replaced impulsive behaviour and the importance of ESG was on the rise.

The Search for a New Stability

Our third annual study of UK investors’ attitudes and behaviour finds a new stability emerging.

This broadening of range extends beyond investing into employment trends, income sources, even signs of crisis fatigue. It is changing how investors, advisers and providers work together.
