UK investors unload record £7.4 billion in stocks since June

British investors have pulled a staggering £7.4 billion (around $9.9 billion) out of equity funds since June, marking the longest streak of consecutive monthly net selling in the domestic market since the 2016 Brexit vote. The outflows are being driven by doubts around whether current global stock valuations are sustainable and worries over proposed changes to tax rules in this month’s UK Budget, according to data from Calastone. October alone saw a record £3.6 billion in stock withdrawals, while money‑market funds absorbed £955 million and fixed‑income funds took in £589 million as investors shifted into lower‑risk assets. Calastone also noted that all categories of equity funds—including global, North American, technology and UK‑focused funds—recorded net selling in the period. #UKStocks #InvestorOutflow #EquityFunds #MarketSentiment #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
