Ahead of tonight's televised election debate, we consider whether investors should be worried about a Labour Government. Take a look at the article here: https://lnkd.in/eE-_-HRe #CapitalAtRisk #Investing #Election2024

It’s a measure of how much shit we are in that in 1997 uk growth was 4.6%, this year it might get to 0.6%. And that those believing parties that want to overthrow democracy should be able to stand for election has risen by 35% (assume it’s a comparison with 97 and I don’t know the base)

At a glance: - Labour’s expected electoral victory could lead to a short-term uplift for UK shares. - The election outcome is unlikely to influence the short-term trajectory of interest rates or inflation. - Although Labour has some big plans, it will likely face financial constraints, so the Autumn Statement will be one to watch. #islinwm #election #wealthmanagement

General Election 2024 - The Debrief 🗳️ As widely expected, the Labour Party has secured a historic landslide victory, soaring past the magic 326-seat mark in the early hours of Friday morning. The Conservatives sustained huge losses in the party’s worst-ever election performance. It was a record-breaking night for the Liberal Democrats, who secured over 70 seats. The Scottish National Party (SNP) suffered a dismal night, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was voted an MP for the first time and the Green Party broke records. As the markets opened following the results on 5 July, the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 both opened up and sterling held steady after the exit polls came in on Thursday evening. Ms Reeves said Labour would not hold a Budget without an independent forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), these require ten weeks’ notice to prepare.

Labour’s decisive majority win in the General Election is likely to be initially taken positively by markets, according to our CIO, Justin Onuekwusi. “The UK election has played out as expected and has consolidated our positive view,” he says. “The clarity of outcome and resultant policy certainty going forward should lead to confidence in the growth outlook for the UK economy. The new Labour government may be seen as a boon for broader trade relations though any planned policy changes are likely to take some time to implement, so there is unlikely to be any immediate economic effects from this election result.” The election outcome may result in a short-term uplift, but Justin believes there are longer-term reasons to favour UK companies – of all sizes – post election.
