The dust is finally settling on the EU referendum result, but the future of the UK economy and the nation’s position in Europe is more uncertain than ever – in short, no one who advocated an EU exit has actually come up with a suitable exit strategy.<\/p>\n

Not only that, the whole political party system has been thrown into disarray, with both major players undergoing leadership change and challenges.<\/p>\n

None of which is good news for British business or anyone looking to invest in British business – so here are three things\u00a0the boss of one of the world\u2019s largest independent financial advisory organisations thinks investors need to consider in the immediate aftermath of the leave vote.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking on the UK’s decision to leave the EU, Nigel Green, founder and CEO of deVere Group,\u00a0has said:\u00a0\u201cBritain\u2019s decision to drop the Brexit<\/span> bomb and abandon its four decades of EU membership has, of course, been fuelling turbulence in the global financial markets since even before the outcome was officially announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst a backdrop of reeling markets and uncertainty, individual investors are, understandably, feeling nervous about their future financial security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are the three things Nigel Green suggests investors need to now do…<\/p>\n

Keep calm and carry on<\/h2>\n

“Hasty decisions are typically not the wisest ones.\u00a0 There remains too much uncertainty around at the moment to take strong bets on any particular asset class, sector or region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market volatility may indeed be an indicator of storm clouds ahead, but equally, and perhaps even more likely, it will present a positive buying opportunity. But we need to wait for the fog to lift a little first.<\/p>\n

\u201cA buy-and-hold strategy of quality multi-asset funds is as valid a strategy today as it has ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focus on the longer term<\/h2>\n

“Yes, the political landscape has changed overnight, but your financial objectives have not.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarkets are, by their very nature, turbulent but stock market performance is fairly predictable over the longer-term \u2013 they usually go up.\u00a0 For this reason, investing in equities is recognised globally as one of the optimum ways to accumulate wealth over long periods.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll too often even experienced investors focus on the short term too heavily in times of market volatility of the kind we are now seeing, and there are many disadvantages to this.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, a short-term investment strategy involves considerably higher risks, compared to investing over a longer period.\u00a0 Other pitfalls of a short horizon include that investors can often sell a quality investment too early due to over focusing on short-term valuation metrics.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on other important geopolitical factors<\/h2>\n

\u201cKeep an eye on other important geopolitical factors that will influence markets and therefore impact your finances. These include China\u2019s economic growth, the possibility of Brexit<\/span> contagion as other countries seek to exit<\/span> the EU, the U.S. election, the failure of negative interest rates in Japan and the Eurozone to stimulate sustainable recovery, and the Fed\u2019s nervousness over the U.S. economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these times of increased volatility, a good fund manager will prove to be invaluable to help capitalise on the enormous opportunities that will be coming along and to sidestep the risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you make of Mr Green’s comments? And do you have your own thoughts on how investors should operate in post-Brexit Britain? Let us know…<\/h3>\n
