"According to the person that dumped 7.163 million shares yesterday evening it is not a time to buy...."
Or maybe they wanted to reduce risk or invest elsewhere? The FTSE100 is up over 10% in the last 3 months, (despite posters here suggesting UK not attracting investment).
Surely not
UK plc doing well?
Yep, that’s what I’m thinking too
My pensions and (managed) investments have never been so healthy
I just hope this stock realises its potential soon and delivers me a bumper pre-retirement present 🇬🇧 👍
> (despite posters here suggesting UK not attracting investment).
Respectfully that's a mischaracterisation, people said less attractive and not "not attracting investment".
Speaking for myself as one of those who commented on this topic: I am only interested in looking at the data, and do not want to get into an argument on any political or national pride angle; I'm not going to post flags or rhetoric.
And, I wouldn't dream of telling other people what to do, so please invest however you wish for your pension (or whatever) — it's a perfectly legitimate goal to prefer to invest in your home country with the idea that it might be beneficial to the economy.
I say that simply to clarify that it was not at all my intention to irritate anyone who may find the topic politically sensitive. I'm trying to keep it narrowly focussed on investing and what may optimise Quadrise's interests (and those of my other holdings that are currently in UK).
Here's the data:
Last 1 year
S&P 500 ARR 22%
FTSE 100 ARR 7.6%
Last 5 years:
S&P 500 ARR: 14%
FTSE 100 ARR: 5.7%
Last 10 years:
S&P 500 ARR: 15.8%
FTSE 100 ARR: 5.8%
You can see the data here (website chosen just because it had a cleaner design, I have no affiliation with it and I am not a customer). You will see similar patterns for other comparable indices.

The reasons why are complicated, but a leading one is that many of the largest growing companies have been in the tech sector and many are based in US (or have been acquired by foreign companies — e.g. ARM).
You will also see similar patterns on how much money has been raised on the given exchanges, valuations, direction of acquisitions, etcetera.
It is inarguable that the US is the world's premier money raising market, and always has been.
Broker Peel Hunt have been shouting about the UK market for months, pointing out how bad it has been going for years, compared to other markets. And you have to also take into account that they are not really talking about the FTSE-100, they are talking mainly about small and mid cap markets. Some of their LinkedIn posts follow:
How can the UK ISA turbocharge the UK capital markets?
There has been considerable commentary on the merits of the UK ISA. In this article, Charles Hall explores the motivation behind its creation and highlights the key points.
The consultation period runs to 6th June. We strongly urge anyone interested in the health of UK equities to participate in the consultation, which can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/ehJ94Tz8

While the government plans to reduce its 28.7% stake in NatWest, Coutts (owned by NatWest) is simultaneously reducing fund allocations to the UK.
Historically, the funds have heavily favored the UK, but will now be globally focused. A substantial (£2bn) transfer of assets from UK to global funds is occurring, which reinforces the inexorable trend of outflows from the UK. To reverse this trend, we believe it is imperative that there is hashtag#pensionreform, a hashtag#BritishISA, and removal of hashtag#stampduty to encourage UK investment in UK assets.

Investing in the UK
In this note, Charles Hall highlights some thought-provoking analysis from the team at Ondra.
Policy choices – these include increasing contributions to DC schemes, focusing investment in the UK, making tax benefits contingent on home investment, and developing a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
A turning point – the UK has a large (£2.5tn) pool of pension assets. However, this is increasingly invested in low returning assets, or overseas, to the detriment of UK economic growth and prosperity. In our view, reversal of this trend is central to improving the performance of the UK economy, tax take, pensions, and equity market.
The problem – although it should be obvious, it needs to be repeated. The policy and tax changes around Defined Benefit Pension schemes (DB) have been disastrous for companies, the economy, the taxpayer, the equity market, shareholders, and savers, and sub-optimal for pensioners.

The UK stock market is dying, says Charles Hall, Peel Hunt’s Head of Research. Lots of money is being pulled out every month by pension funds, wealth managers and individual investors—pushing valuations down and UK companies out. If the level of mergers and acquisitions and private equity takeovers continues at its current rate, he says, there won’t be any small caps left by 2028. Hall joins this week’s Bloomberg episode of Merryn Talks Money to discuss the current state of UK equity markets.

A new one has appeared.
"The UK ISA is a key step in encouraging UK capital to be invested in UK companies. This should not be a strange concept, particularly as you get a taxbreak for doing so. We recommend making the UK ISA IHT exempt to turbocharge savings, investment, UK equities and economic growth. The consultation runs until 6th June - we strongly urge anyone that cares about the UK capital market and economy to put their views in."
