In line with a number of firms, Edmund Shing (pictured) at , he says UK stocks remain undervalued and have outperformed; he invests, for instance, in the UK’s pharmaceutical company Astra Zeneca. “UK bonds could also be an excellent investment but we will see what happens in the Autumn budget at the end of the month,” he added.

He is doing more on exchanged-traded funds (ETF) and plans to increase the active ETF range. A number of firms have been continuing their expansion into ETFs such as Schroders, Pictet Asset Management, Invesco, and Franklin Templeton. See more here and here.

Shing remains fairly positive on the outlook, notably on equities, AI and tech, as well as gold.
