Adviser Voice: Q2 2026

The events occurring in 2026 have shaped the financial landscape of the UK. With inflation and interest rates showing signs of rising, investors and businesses have continued to feel the impacts of a difficult economy as rising costs hit their bottom line.
The second quarter of this year saw the continuation of the war with Iran contribute significantly to the financial and economic outlook, while Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation as Prime Minister in June. Has this changed how advisers view the state of the current economy and their clients’ financial situations?
Opinium have launched the second wave of its Adviser Voice report for 2026, continuing to track financial attitudes and the behaviour of financial advisers across the UK. We also captured the adviser assessment of the impact of the war in Iran financially, and asked what impact, if any, the Prime Minister’s resignation may have on the investment landscape.
