ValueUK Value investing is extremely attractive from both recovery and income perspectives. The UK market trades at multi-decade discounts to global markets and historical valuations, creating compelling opportunities for value investors. History suggests coming years will reward investors handsomely for putting capital to work in this unloved investment style. |

BuybacksUK companies have expanded sizeable share buyback programmes across broader sectors and company sizes. This underscores attractive valuations and should boost share prices. The total shareholder distribution yield of UK's FTSE All-Share is 6% compared to 3.9% for S&P 500. |

RatesInterest rates have risen to 5.25% for the first time since 2008, fundamentally changing market behavior and capital allocation. Higher rates are ending the era of unlimited free money and forcing economic reality on previously subsidized business models. The team views this as creating opportunities for traditional value investments as disruptive competitors face pressure. |

ValueThe team sees significant valuation dispersion between value and growth investments, with prospects for both profit growth and re-rating for value stocks looking strong. Traditional businesses face less pressure from start-ups as economic reality bites, which should ease pressure on profits of more traditional value investments. |

United KingdomDespite recession forecasts, the UK has avoided technical recession though the economy remains weak. House prices are down just 0.5% from peaks despite higher rates, and corporate debt levels are at 20-year lows. However, corporate insolvencies are rising and the market is being brutal on profit warnings. |
