MQ5: Investment by insurance companies, pension funds and trusts: October to December 2018
Beth sydd yn y bwletin?
- Net disinvestment of £34 billion was reported by insurance companies, pension funds and trusts in Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2018; the largest since the start of this series in 1987.
- This was the first time since comparable records began in 1987 that four consecutive quarters of net disinvestment have been reported by these institutions; to put this into context, the five-year quarterly average for this series is net investment of £1 billion.
- In Quarter 4 2018, the overall net disinvestment of £34 billion by these institutions was caused mainly by net disinvestment in overseas securities (£36 billion) and short-term assets (£9 billion), offset in part by net investment of £7 billion in other assets (mainly mutual funds) and UK corporate securities (£4 billion).
