New research has uncovered that Britain is now the leading European destination for both domestic and foreign investment.
UK investors seeking opportunities to profit both at home and abroad often take financial advice in Chester, Manchester, and other cities from expert wealth managers. Able to offer guidance on a wide range of asset classes, they can help consumers create well-balanced portfolios that remain buoyant despite market fluctuations and major governmental and economic upheavals like Brexit.
Recent figures published the Bayes Business School’s Mergers and Acquisitions Research Centre showed that dealmakers from around the world have shifted their focus to the UK in 2022. The study found that Britain was the top target for both domestic and inbound investment in Europe, besting other nations like Germany and the Netherlands.
While Singapore and the US lead the list of investment hotspots internationally, despite market turbulence and falling valuations, the UK came out on top for Europe and third place globally for attracting investors.
Due to access to available capital and lower interest rates, financial specialists have commented that post Brexit, they anticipate that many British businesses will be appealing for takeovers. They have commented that rising interest rates and high inflation because of geopolitical risk will increase the cost of capital, likely leading to less mergers and acquisitions activity than last year.
However, while experts warned that investment would likely slow in the coming months, the new research indicates that Britain has bucked the current trend and the gloomy predictions associated with its exit from Europe.
