Market commentary
The US election was the primary focus for markets in November. Expectations of tax cuts and expansionary fiscal policy helped drive the outperformance of US equity markets. In the UK, the FTSE All-Share performed well supported by strong performance in financials. The Bank of England cut interest rates for the second time this year, however they warned the budget could drive up inflation leading to uncertainty over the future path of rate cuts.
The Fund performed well during the month with Direct Line Insurance Group (DLG), Barclays, NatWest and International Consolidated Airline Group (IAG) the largest contributors to performance. Kingfisher and Honda were detractors from performance.
DLG's share price rose following news that the company had rejected a takeover bid from Aviva (also held in the portfolio), saying it substantially undervalues the company; DLG's board also rejected a takeover proposal from Ageas in March of this year. UK banks Barclays and NatWest were both positive contributors during the month amid wider positive moves in financials. NatWest bought back £1 billion of its shares from the UK government, reducing the government's stake from 14.2% to 11.4%. IAG's share price rose following the release of its thirdquarter earnings that beat estimates on higher demand for trans-Atlantic routes and the announcement of a share buyback.
Kingfisher's share price fell following the company's third quarter trading update in which they lowered pre-tax profit guidance due to weak sales. Honda's share price fell following second quarter results that missed expectations due to weak sales in Southeast Asia and China.
UK equities continue to be valued at a significant discount to global equities generally. Accordingly, we believe that, notwithstanding the shorter-term uncertainties, UK equities are priced to offer relatively attractive returns into the future.
