Isa investors losing appetite for risk
More and more investors are targeting Individual Savings Accounts (Isas) with less risky investment strategies, new statistics have shown.
Data from the Investment Management Association for November and December shows that cautious managed funds were the best selling Isas during the period.
It is thought that the change in outlook on the part of investors can be attributed to the turmoil in financial markets.
However, according to Gary Shaughnessy, managing director of Prudential Retail Life & Pensions, this approach may not be prudent in the long term.
He said: "Stock market volatility is changing attitudes to risk among investors but the change in attitude should not necessarily mean a switch away from equity investing.
"All the evidence shows that in the long-run equities outperform cash and that investors who stay out of the stock market are not necessarily maximising their potential returns."
During the tax year 2006/07 £22.6 billion was invested in cash Isas.
