UK retail share traders are increasingly looking to trade shares listed in foreign markets, new research from Graniteshares shows.

Its study found nearly half (47%) have increased the value of stocks they buy that are not listed on the London Stock Exchange in the past 12 months. Around 10% have dramatically increased the stocks they buy listed on foreign markets.

The trend looks set to continue the research for GraniteShares, which offers a suite of Short and Leveraged Single Stock Daily ETPs tracking some of the most popular companies in UK US and European markets, found.

Around a quarter (24%) of investors questioned say they plan to increase trading in US shares over the next 12 months with 25% looking to increase trading in European stocks and 23% in Asian-listed shares.

The UK remains popular with retail traders and around 28% say they will increase trading in London-listed stocks over the year ahead. That corresponds to GraniteShares own platform where Rolls Royce (3LRR) is the most popular ETP, by AUM, held by UK traders.

Just 10% questioned have bought no UK-listed stocks in the past year compared with 28% who have not bought any European-listed stocks and 27% who have bought no US-listed stocks. Around half (47%) have not bought any Asian-listed shares.

However US markets are seen as likely to be the best performer in the year ahead – 31% questioned chose the US ahead of 22% picking the UK with 17% selecting Asian markets and 12% looking to European markets for the strongest performance.

Around six out of 10 (58%) believe the FTSE-100 will end higher this year compared with 50% saying the same about the Nasdaq and 44% saying the S&P 500 will end the year up. Around 36% expect the EuroStoxx 50 to close higher at the end of the year.
