A brand-new survey on British investment has revealed that most of UK investors plan to increase their Limited Partner (LP) fund commitments next year in 2023.
Undertaken by a UK venture firm specialising in e-commerce, marketing tech and fintech, the study surveyed 250 LPs based in the UK. It discovered that one out of five UK investors now plan to make a “significant” uplift in their current LP commitment in 2023, despite plummeting valuations and economic and political uncertainty.
Furthermore, the UK survey findings indicated that 35 per cent of the LPs now planned to invest in domestic businesses in 2023, placing them second only to those in North America (44 per cent).
Approximately 30 per cent of the survey cited that North Africa and the Middle East were in their sights, closely followed by Latin America at 28 per cent and the rest of Europe at 27 per cent, Asia at 23 per cent and Israel with 14 per cent.
When questioned on which macroeconomic risks were among their greatest concerns, 61 per cent of respondents selected inflation and rising interest rates, followed closely by “changes in tech company valuations (58 per cent). UK investors with economic concerns often look to experts in portfolio management in Chester, Manchester, and other hubs for finance. Wealth managers can create diverse portfolios that balance risk and return, helping their clients weather market fluctuations.
The UK survey was carried out from November 7 to November 9 and respondents included 250 institutional investors, brokers, asset managers and family offices.
