Rathbones Asset Management Multi-Asset Webinar

Overseas investors are buying UK equities again. It helped the FTSE All-Share outperform the S&P 500, the Nasdaq and the Euro Stoxx 600 year to date. What do foreigners see that domestic investors don’t? And what are they ignoring? 
 
With global equities regaining previous peak multiples despite a tariff war, real wars and a central bank tug of war, it’s no wonder investors are looking for assets with safety-cushion valuations. UK equities provide just that, but what are the names that global investors, with a world of choice, would pick?
 
Join Alexandra Jackson, manager of the fund, to hear more.

What role will the UK equity market play in this changing world?

We are delighted to invite you to join Alexandra Jackson, fund manager of Rathbone UK Opportunities Fund and James Thomson, fund manager of Rathbone Global Opportunities Fund as they discuss the opportunities in global and UK equities. 

Since the pandemic, markets have gone through an unpredictable cycle, with 2023 being the perfect example. Central banks were on one of their most aggressive rate hiking cycles in history and almost every economist set the stage for 2023 to be a year we would all rather forget. However, for those made of sterner stuff, equity markets delivered strong returns for investors. As we moved through the year and into 2024, it became apparent that markets may be returning to favour the hunting ground of the stock picker. With rates likely to remain higher for longer we are unlikely to see a situation where rising tides lift all boats, instead investors will have to choose companies with the ability to deliver strong returns based on the quality of the company.

Alexandra and James will address some the most pressing questions investors have today and will discuss what they consider to be some of the star quality companies available, ranging from household names to companies flying under- the- radar as leaders in their field.

Rathbones Asset Management - World of Opportunities Webinar

Catalysts for the UK market and the Rathbone Income Fund 

It is a question that we and most investment houses have revisited time and time again for the best part of a decade, what is the catalyst for the resurgence of the UK market? 

Disinflation, deeper and quicker rate cuts, M&A, share buybacks, foreign investor interest and political leadership on both sides looking to re-build relationships with the EU, the possible catalysts now make up a healthy list. We are therefore delighted to invite you to an online presentation with fund managers of the Rathbone Income Fund, Carl Stick and Alan Dobbie, as we explore the multitude of potential sparks that could relight the fire within the UK market. 

We will also provide an update on the fund, looking at recent performance, how the strategy is currently positioned and most importantly, the solutions we think we can offer to your clients. We’re all living longer and our working lives are becoming ever more fluid. Does the unloved UK equity income space offer a way of being more financially prepared for whatever our extended futures may hold?
