Investors untroubled by upcoming EU referendum

Sam Slator 01/04/16 in Economics & politics

When Lewis Carroll helped Humpty Dumpty explain the practice of combining words in ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ in 1871, I doubt he ever expected there would be a referendum on a portmanteau 150 years later.

But that’s what we have: Brexit. Two meanings packed up into one word.

As the debate heats up, we asked you if you would adjust your investments in any way. A resounding majority of 60% said they would leave their investment portfolios unaltered. This seems a sensible stance; no one really knows how either outcome will impact stock markets, although some volatility should definitely be expected.
