UK based financial firms following Brexit reported net disinvestment of 15 billion pounds. This was the fifth time financial disinvestment occurred since the production of this data: 1987. Parallel to this event, Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) in the UK experienced its biggest rise during Brexit June 2016. This note studies the relationship between EPU and its particular components and financial investment. I find that overall EPU and specifically fiscal policy, monetary policy, geopolitical, regulation and liquidity uncertainty have the highest negative sensitivity to financial investment.
