These Are The Stocks to Watch as U.K. Heads to the Polls Again

The U.K. is headed to the polls on Dec. 12, bringing banks, utilities and housebuilders into focus for U.K. equity investors. There’s also the small matter of Brexit, as strategists digest what the latest developments mean for sterling and U.K. assets.

In the lead-up to the vote, “both Labour and the Conservatives are expected to come out with pretty punchy views on tax, innovation and public spending, which could have significant implications for both corporates and consumers,” Emma Wall, head of investment analysis at stockbroker Hargreaves Lansdown Plc, said by email.
