Klare Baldwin, Head of Marketing at FundsNetwork, comments: “For the first time in many months, we are starting to see the balance shift in investor appetite from income to growth orientated investments. Whilst income is still very much a continuing theme, it is beginning to be outnumbered by less risk averse sectors such as Mixed Investment, UK All Companies and Global. Within the growth trend, we are also starting to see a disparity in regional preference with the UK becoming less popular and appetite being driven further afield. The beginnings of a divergence could signal a return in confidence as advised clients seek investments that will make their money work harder for them."
