Some of Europe’s biggest fund managers are set for a face-off on how best to trade the U.K.’s first potential interest-rate increase in a decade.
Allianz Global Investors GmBH is looking to sell the pound into a rally, betting the Bank of England won’t signal further policy tightening given lingering economic and political risks. Fidelity International has a similar view, while Aberdeen Standard Investments sees scope for more than one increase and prefers to maintain a long position in sterling against the euro.
