Bartholomew also welcomed the chance of some volatility in markets with approaching elections in France and now the UK.
Adrian Lowcock, investment director at Architas, warned investors to prepare for the oncoming volatility and said the snap election would create uncertainty that markets would not like.
“The market has begun to price this in and there is likely to be an ‘uncertainty discount’ on the UK stock market until the election result is known,” he said.
“Given that the FTSE 100 is trading close to all-time highs and we are seeing an increase in geo-political uncertainty investors should prepare for increased volatility over the coming weeks and hold a diversified portfolio of equities and bonds as well as property and gold.”
