Home Bias Is Back: UK Investors Pivot From Global to Domestic Assets, New Data Reveals
Summary
Sharesight analyzed UK investor trading data and found a clear shift back toward domestic assets in May 2026. UK-listed assets made up 55.2% of buy trades, up from 46.4% a year earlier, while overseas assets declined as a share of buying activity. The data also shows that investors are not abandoning global exposure, since popular ETFs and US tech stocks remain prominent in portfolios. Sharesight highlights that investors now need to look beyond listing venue and understand the underlying market exposure of their holdings. The report points to a more nuanced portfolio construction trend that still favors diversification across UK, US, and global markets.
