    Crashes are usually temporary, any Brexit or Covid crashes have long since worked themselves out and the markets have recovered. The bigger issue with Brexit and Covid are the slower long term effects predicted with reduced growth over many years. Unfortunately those statistics will always be interpreted in a political way and people at the sharpe end of the economy will actually feel the effects...for good or bad.
    The sentiment of Brexit lingers on. Reinforced by the performance of the mega US caps over the past 5 years. 

    Though what's interesting is that the London Markets have the largest number of listed renewable energy companies in the world. Also by market capitalisation. 

    Every cloud has a silver lining.

    My US funds are doing well, barely touching UK ones.
    The next 5 years will be interesting.
