Here’s a Brexit update. An increasing number of investors are preparing to cut their exposure to British assets even as the prospects of global growth have improved  according to State Street’s Brexometer Survey, a quarterly gauge of investor sentiment toward the economic impact of Britain leaving the EU. Of 102 professional investors, 24% said they’re looking  to reduce U.K. holdings in the next six months,  That’s up from 18% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Investors have grown more optimistic about the global economy, with nearly 55% of survey participants saying they hold a positive view on growth prospects over the next three to five years up from 40%.
