Coutts Bank Divests £2 Billion from UK Markets, Signaling Wider Economic Concerns

The royal family's bank shifts significant assets abroad amid concerns over the London stock market's health.

Coutts Bank plans to reduce its investment in UK equities from 33% to 2%, reallocating funds globally to achieve better returns.
The move reflects broader issues in the London stock market, which has seen a rapid decline in listings and investor interest.
Analysts view Coutts' decision as a wake-up call for the UK government to reform financial policies and boost domestic markets.
The bank's strategy shift is part of a larger trend of disinvestment from the UK, as investors seek more lucrative opportunities abroad.
Despite reducing UK market exposure, Coutts maintains a significant investment within the country and continuously reviews its investment strategies.
