Sean Thompson, Managing Director, CAMRADATA said, “Our latest snapshot of investment searches puts Diversified Growth Funds back in top position after coming second in February. Our latest quarterly investment report showed Diversified Growth Funds have seen a continual growth of the total assets for the past 36 months.

“Global Equities and US Equities were in 2^nd and 3^rd places. This is in line with our quarterly report which showed that 2017 ended positively for the equity markets, with equity markets performing well outside Europe.

“In Europe, while stocks lagged other markets in Q4, economic data remains strong and signs of improving economic growth boosted cyclical stocks. Interest in European Inc. UK Equity continues with this asset class remaining in 5^th place in the search table.

“Our monthly snapshots are essential for keeping clients up-to-date on the latest investment trends, as well as providing them with key insights and data ahead of our more detailed quarterly investment reports.”
