Buy British: it will help defend the UK against Trump | Phillip Inman

UK manufacturing is unloved and underinvested - but the defence industry is more essential than ever in a changing political age

Invest in Britain. You might make a fortune. Take a punt on a fintech company or an artificial intelligence startup. Better still, join the rest of the world by targeting property, which is the go-to asset class for 80% of global investments seeking a stellar payout.

Whatever you do, avoid retail. And steer clear of manufacturing, which needs lots of startup capital and precision engineering, and offers only slim margins and modest returns as a reward for all that effort.
