Market Uncertainty Drives Capital into Money Market Funds
What happened
Market uncertainty is prompting investors to seek safe haven investments, leading to increased interest in money market funds. UK investors allocated £417m to these funds in September, which was the strongest performance since November 2025, according to Calastone data. These funds are designed as low-risk options that hold short-term debt issued by government, banks, and companies.

Why it matters
The trend shows that some investors are choosing to limit volatility and preserve capital, even as major markets deliver strong returns. For example, the Nasdaq has climbed 13.5 per cent since January, while the FTSE 100 is up 5.1 per cent since January.
