Third Quarter of 2019

There was palpable shift in sentiment over the third quarter with the cautionary undertone perhaps best reflected by gold’s resurgence. Ongoing trade jockeying between the US and China did not help the mood and neither did the Argentine debt default in August. At the real economy level, manufacturing output has been trending lower across some of the major global economies.

Understanding the deepest discounts

At Hardman and Co, we try to answer the questions of why to invest in a company and what the risks are in doing so.

Top Picks for 2023 - 2022 review and outlook for 2023

On 10 January last year, we set out our ten top stock picks for 2022, in what turned out to be a very poor twelve months for global equities, due to war, accelerating inflation, political instability and recession fears. Between 7 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, the AIM All-Share Index declined 30.0%, whilst the average performance of our ten top picks was -24.7%, a modest relative outperformance. In this note we discuss the performance of our 2022 top picks, equities trends in 2022, and our

QuotedData’s Real Estate Monthly Roundup – January 2023

Performance - 2022 ended with another difficult month for property companies as the sector continues to get to grips with the impact of higher interest rates. There were several funds that performed well during December, however, with secondary shopping centre landlord Capital & Regional top of the pile.

AuM grows in Q3 on performance, reduced outflows

Liontrust posted +3% AuM growth in Q3. Although net outflows persisted, redemption trends improved (£0.6bn vs £1.6bn Q2). There was a considerable boost from performance. Cashflow Solution funds posted good inflows and Economic Advantage funds saw neutral flows. Although the £32.6bn AuM was a little below our £33.7bn estimate, this number was achieved only thirteen days later on positive performance in the first weeks of 2023. We take a cautious view leaving FY23e all but unchanged (reducing out
