"The global report surveyed over 1,800 clients across 11 markets, examining sentiment, diversification trends, geopolitical concerns, and AI adoption in investing. It highlights striking country-level differences, revealing what's on investors' minds across Saxo's markets: Denmark shows the strongest support for its local stock market, the French are most willing to try new investments, the Dutch rely least on AI in their investment process, and Japanese investors are the most optimistic about the US."
"UK investors are entering the final quarter with their guard up. Political uncertainty and global instability are weighing on sentiment, but we're seeing a highly adaptive approach to risk management. What's particularly striking is how many clients continue to spot opportunities in global markets. That confidence runs counter to the usual 'home bias' towards domestic investments, suggesting that despite the turmoil, optimism in the global economy remains resilient."
A global survey of over 1,800 clients across 11 markets shows stark national differences in investor sentiment, diversification and AI use. UK investors reported the weakest equity sentiment for Q4 2025, with negative readings for the FTSE 100 (-0.26) and US equities (-0.17) and near-flat global equities (0.02). Older investors (61+) were modestly positive, while 18–45-year-olds were most cautious. The UK leads in AI adoption and ranks second in proactive portfolio diversification, with one-third planning new regional or asset-class investments and 42% of younger investors intending to diversify. Country details include strong Danish home-market support, French openness to new assets, minimal Dutch AI reliance and Japanese optimism about the US.
