BUILD BACK BETTER

IN UK EQUITIES

14 June 2022, The Ned, London

Welcome

Have the bearish views of investors in UK equities been justified or are the UK economy and its businesses in fact undergoing a significant turnaround? We believe it’s the latter and we invite you to join us to find out why.

We would be delighted if you could join us on 14 June from 9.00am at The Ned, London. Please register via the button below.

As UK equities build back from the challenges of BREXIT and COVID there are many green shoots emerging and as the champions of UK equities excellence, we pride ourselves on understanding the asset class better than anyone else. We believe that clients are underestimating the opportunity; they don’t appreciate the possible upside, the growth potential or the extent of the transformation occurring – so join us to learn about why we believe UK equities are building back better.

Agenda

Time Topic
9.00am Registration and light breakfast
9.30am Introduction
Introduction from Gavin White, Head of UK Sales.
9.45am Darren Winder, Lazarus Economics – Where next for the UK economy post Brexit, post covid…
Where next for the UK economy? After BREXIT and as we emerge from COVID how is the UK economy coping and what comes next for UK investors and companies. Darren Winder is the Head of Lazarus Economics and Strategy and previously worked at the Bank of England, SG Warburg/UBS and Cazenove.
10.10am Clive Beagles, Fund Manager – Cool Britannia: Time to start recognising the value of UK Equities
UK valuations are as appealing as they have been for some time. Clive will explain why he is seeing significant value in UK equities and illustrate how some UK companies are in rude health and paying increasing dividends despite a volatile economic backdrop.
10.30am Rachel Reutter, Fund Manager – Why you’re misunderstanding UK equities
Too many investors still associate UK equities with only banks and oil majors, this characterisation fundamentally misunderstands UK equities. There are many UK companies with long-term structural growth tailwinds, that are globally leading in their fields and providing very attractive levels of growth.
10.50am Break
11.05am Mark Costar, Fund Manager – A new era; finding tomorrow’s growth
The twin pressures of Brexit and Covid have formed a new set of structural investment trends that have definitively changed the landscape for UK equities. In this new era, we believe the growth stocks of the future will not come from the existing coterie of high PE fans favourites, but from a new generation of undiscovered, mispriced enterprises ideally placed to exploit this change.
11.25am Alex Savvides, Fund Manager – Constructivism; engagement with a purpose
Alex Savvides is a transformation investor who for 13 years has worked with UK companies to help them realise their value. He will explain why he believes UK equities aren’t going extinct and why many investors are increasingly turning positive and how this has been driven by transformation.
11.45am Tom Matthews, Senior Manager Sustainable Investments - What Darwin can tell us about sustainable returns: Evolutionary theory, the folly of ‘ESG’ and delivering real-world impacts
An insight into the many, often conflicting, considerations our UK equity fund managers face in delivering clients sustainable returns and how the sustainable investments team are helping them to navigate this.
12.05pm Keynote speech by Chrissie Wellington, Four-time Ironman Triathlon World Champion
12.35pm Closing remarks, Gavin White
Closing remarks from Gavin White, Head of UK Sales.
12.45pm Lunch and drinks
