UK Investors: A Quick‑Guide to a Safer, More Diversified Future
According to a fresh study from Shojin, the next year looks like a juggling act for UK retail investors. “What they’re looking for? A dash of diversification, a splash of guaranteed returns, and the safety net of ISAs.”
What the Numbers Say
- 65% of investors have already tweaked their portfolios to brace for rising rates and stubborn inflation.
- Instead of a full market makeover, 38% plan to mix things up by adding fresh assets.
- Yet, a solid 53% will keep their current strategy largely unchanged.
- The appetite for fixed‑return investments spikes—57% are eyeing contracts that lock in payouts.
- ISAs? They’re the go‑to. 67% intend to boost their contributions next year.
- Finally, 40% of investors want to lean on tech, planning to grow their use of investment apps and online platforms.
Why the Fears Remain
Despite the tweaks, 55% worry that a UK recession could dent their gains. Jatin Ondhia, Shojin’s CEO, calls it a “cautious optimism” moment: most investors feel the worst is over, but they’re still keeping a close eye on the economy.
Key Takeaway From the Survey
When it comes to risk tolerance, each investor should balance ambition with a realistic risk view—diversification can act like a safety blanket against market swings.
