State Street: Investor Confidence index up 4.8 points in March

The Global Investor Confidence Index increased to 111.9, up 4.8 points from February’s revised reading of 107.1. The index differs from survey-based measures in that it is based on the actual trades, as opposed to opinions, of institutional investors.


After a volatile February, institutions seemed to have re-embraced risk in March, with the ICI rising across all regions. However, increasing rhetoric over protectionist policies and fears over a potential trade war are still festering and have the potential to impact confidence.
