What happens to investments if the UK leaves Europe?What happens to investments if the UK leaves Europe?

David Cameron has finally announced a referendum on whether Britain should remain in the European Union will be held on Thursday 23rd June.

This follows intense negotiations about the UK’s membership of the EU, including changes to child benefit, migrant welfare payments, keeping the pound without fear of discrimination, protection for the City of London and a so-called ‘red card’ system for national parliaments who want to block EU legislation.

So, where do you stand on Europe and how will you be voting in the referendum this June? When you are asked, “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”, will you be answering yes or no?

What would be the likely impact on investment markets if UK voters decided to leave Europe?

Please let Martin know how you plan to vote in the EU referendum and what impact you think a decision either way could have for investment markets. Email him at martin@icfp.co.uk or get in touch on Twitter @martinbamford, he would love to hear from you.
