According to recent research, half of all investors in the UK have either plunged funds into alternative finance products in 2022 or will be doing so by the end of next year.
Investors interested in alternative finance products like peer-to-peer lending and other options often consult wealth managers for expert advice. As independent financial advisors, these specialists in portfolio management in Shropshire, Cheshire and other counties can provide an unbiased opinion on potential investments for individual consumers and companies.
The survey found that 18 per cent of UK investors had placed funds in the alternative space this year, while a further 32 per cent planned to make alternative investments before the end of 2022 or will do so in 2023. The research uncovered that as investors, Britons are increasingly open to the potential of alternative finance products as they are keen to receive inflation-beating returns.
Out of those surveyed, 39 per cent of respondents commented that the present high-inflation environment had led them to allocate more of their money into alternative finance products.
Experts have weighed in stating that with inflation likely to rise over the coming months, they believe many investors are assessing their strategies. As a result, all types of investors are evaluating different markets and assets to see which option will deliver the best returns that can either exceed or at least keep pace with inflation. Researching all investment avenues is a popular strategy to meet both short and long-term goals.
