The FTSE market crash of March was followed by a rapid return as retail investors piled into equities for what they perceived to be golden buying opportunities. Clearly, given where we are today, this proved to be the right decision, although one does wonder what happens if, once COVID's worst is done, the hoped for (and priced in) return of the economy does not materialise.....In any event, there are various beneficiaries of this equities resurgence in the investment industry, not least investment platforms who, after a pause for breath, continue to be magnets for retail investor and Advisor money.
