All assets absolute increase

All asset classes have shown an absolute increase in assets in the first quarter of 2012, according to data published recently by investment research firm Camradata.  The firm claims that the figures represent growing evidence of a “long-term recovery”. Our experienced Independent financial advisors at Enable of Bishop’s Stortford know real wealth management requires proper risk assessment, appropriate to the investor and time.  Keeping the bigger picture in mind is what IFA’s are expert at.

In its latest report, Camradata figures also show that most equity classes have given returns of 20 per cent or more over the last three years, with “more managers reducing risk against their benchmarks and active managers, in particular, delivering value”.

Their data continue to show an upward trend in the number of investment houses active in most sectors, with the number featured in European equity, for example, rising from 36 to 47, while in US high yield the total increased from 17 to 25. Steve Butler, managing director of Camradata, said: “Broadly, there has been a bounce up in values and returns over the last three years. “It’s hard to see who could be disappointed with that kind of performance. What we’re seeing is managers continuing to create wealth against the same kind of bleak, market backdrop.”
