In summary:
- A barrage of crises through 2021/2022 triggered extreme outflows from UK equities.
- UK valuations have become disconnected from global equities, in many cases falling below Global Financial Crisis levels despite the economic challenges being nowhere near as severe as those faced during 2008.
- Share price performance has been unprecedented – since August 2021, 80% of UK shares have underperformed the FTSE All-Share Index; the majority have underperformed by more than 20%.
- Valuations have not priced in this much fear for decades.
- Yet inflation drivers are expected to be negative in 2023 and recession is more of a concern for the UK economy than its equity market.
- UK businesses with strong balance sheets look well-placed for share price appreciation.
