Its study with family offices in the UK, US, Switzerland, Germany and the Nordic regions who collectively have around $98.4 billion in assets under management, found just over one in 10 (11%) rate the UK as very unattractive while 20% say it is quite unattractive. However, two-thirds (66%) say the UK is attractive for investment currently.
Four out of ten family offices (40%) say the UK’s risk profile compared with other potential investments is either too risky or slightly too risky with 43% rating the UK’s risk profile as average and 17% saying its risk profile is low.
Key risks identified by the research include concerns around the Sterling, inflation, and the relative value of UK assets.
