Key takeaways:

  • Geopolitical realignment, tariff threats, and diverging global central bank policies have caused market turbulence. UK investors have slightly increased equity risk.
  • Having ridden the tech titans’ wave, UK investors have started to increase exposure to underdog small-caps, which could be gearing up for a comeback.
  • UK Investors maintained their commitment to defensive strategies, concentrating on high-quality fixed income.

In this dynamic financial environment, it’s crucial to stay ahead and understand allocation shifts. Thanks to the Janus Henderson Edge analytics platform, we’re able to uncover investment trends to help inform your decision-making.

Focusing on equities, fixed income, and alternative/implementation strategies, Portfolio Panorama highlights how investors’ approaches to constructing portfolios have evolved and the asset allocation implications.
