Press Release Summary: First Prime Research shows more Britons plan to enter markets
as market volatility creates new opportunities for investment.

Press Release Body: A survey conducted by First Prime apparently revealed that over
15 million UK investors are in equity markets while 6.6 million are considering
entering to take advantage of lower valuations brought about by market volatility.

Sources close to First Prime stated that the research had revealed that 11.9 million
Britons, claim they would never invest in shares due to the recent market
conditions, while 6.7 million responded that the same conditions had made them less
likely to enter the stock market.

However, 56 per cent stated that they would be more prone to investment if capital
protection, for example use of guarantees, was in place.

First Prime's director of savings and investments, apparently commented on the
findings of the survey saying that guaranteed investments offer the potential for
higher returns based on stock market growth, but also provide capital protection
against a further market downturn.

First Prime's research apparently also revealed that approximately 52 per cent of UK
investors base their decision on information from newspapers, while 36 per cent use
financial advisors and 32 per cent use online tips.
