A $13.2 trillion opportunity available to UK investors

Paolo Cabrelli | 02 Jan 2021 Trump, Biden and Boris all think this technology is crucial Dear Reader,   I don't know if you caught the first debate between Trump and Biden…   For us in the UK, debates between the two US presidential candidates can be a great source of entertainment.   Trump was interrupting, insulting and bullying Biden.   Biden, in return, called Trump a "clown."   And Chris Wallace, the moderator, looked hopeless.     It seems as if there isn't a thing these two (Trump and Biden) could agree upon.   But, it turns out… there is something.   It's the rollout of a new technology – Trump and Biden both agree it is vital for the US.   In fact, according to some journalists, Trump is "obsessed with it."   And his re-election platform states Trump's plan to "nationalize" the technology.   Meanwhile Joe Biden might not be as obsessed as Trump…   But he has proposed spending up to $300 billion on research and development on the new technology.   And he has promised to try to expand the technology so it could reach every American.   Here in the UK, Boris Johnson is also betting big on the technology.   You see, according to estimates by Vodafone, this technology could boost UK economic output by more than £150 billion over 10 years.   That's why, during the lockdown, Boris gave engineers working on it the same "key worker" status. The same status doctors and nurses had while fighting Covid-19 in hospitals.   Someone who understands the technology better than most, said:   "Technology has a vital role to play as the world recovers from COVID-19 and [it] presents a great opportunity for the UK to boost British businesses, transform its enterprise sector and build a world leading digital economy."    No wonder analysts predict the technology to grow into a $13.2 trillion opportunity by 2030.    Click here to find out more about the technology and how you could invest in it while it's still early.   Paolo Cabrelli Publisher, Southbank Investment Research

Important Risk Warning   Before investing you should consider carefully the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.    General - Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid.   Small cap shares - Shares recommended may be small company shares. These can be relatively illiquid meaning they are hard to trade and can have a large bid/offer spread. If you need to sell soon after you bought, you might get back less that you paid. This makes them riskier than other investments. Small companies may not pay a dividend.   Overseas shares – Some recommendations may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Dividends from overseas companies may be taxed at source in the country of issue.   Cryptocurrencies – Cryptocurrency investing and investing in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) is a highly speculative investment. The cryptocurrency market can be extremely volatile. Digital currency coins are encrypted to keep them secure. The encryption identifies the currency itself, but not its owner. This means that if a coin is stolen, you have very little recourse in getting it back. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) does not regulate the Cryptocurrency market. This means that you will not have the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.   Taxation - Profits from share dealing are a form of capital gain and subject to taxation. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.   Investment Director: Sam Volkering. Editors or contributors may have an interest in shares recommended.
