Investors ‘remaining cautious’
July 22nd, 2010Investors are currently favouring safety rather than seeking profits, it has been suggested.
According to the FT Adviser, the uncertainties seen on trading platforms has led to risk taking being ditched in favour of a safer option.
Robert Lockie, investment manager for London-based Bloomsbury Financial Planning, said: "It probably is a flight to safety in that investors are less inclined to take equity risk after market falls and when the future looks uncertain."
He added the impact on the market of investor activity is that prices are more likely to reflect the true value of the assets traded.
Deborah Fuhr, managing director and global head of ETF research and implementation strategy for BlackRock, also stated investors were giving much more consideration to where they put their money.
Dan Hallett, director of asset management for HighView Financial Group, recently told the Windsor Star it is worth people holding gold as part of a diversified CFD spread.
