The manager of one of Britain's best-known investment funds believes the turmoil created by the country's impending departure from the European Union has generated a great opportunity to invest in UK equities.

Alex Wright, the top-performing manager of Fidelity International’s famed UK Special Situations fund, which manages £3bn, said he expects investors outside the country to “revisit the UK equity market” once Brexit happens in March — irrespective of whether Prime Minister Theresa May succeeds in getting her exit agreement through Parliament.
