The recent uplift in cyclical indicators As the period began, the UK government and Bank of is likely to continue, given supportive government and England (BoE) acted to reduce the coronavirus-related central bank policies. This should be positive for equity economic impact – cutting interest rates and announcing markets. a record spending package. Stocks rallied in April and accelerated in June as the economy began to reopen after months of economic lockdown. However, the recovery has been neither linear nor as strong as seen in many other developed markets. The BoE’s monetary policy committee held its main interest rate at 0.1% in early August. Speaking later at the Jackson Hole summit, Governor Andrew Bailey confirmed negative rates were ‘in the toolbox’. Brexit negotiations continued throughout the period, with several deadlines for a trade agreement proposed and missed. In September, fresh rows erupted over UK proposals to change customs procedures in Northern Ireland, previously laid out in the withdrawal agreement. The period ended with a sell-off in markets as Covid-19 infections climbed once more, nerves increased ahead of November’s US election results and some big tech names gave a somewhat lukewarm outlook for their prospects. Given the extremely stretched valuation of these companies, they led markets down. This also resulted in sector rotation, as investors moved away from large companies, with mid-sized and smaller companies outperforming their larger peers. 3 Portfolio of investments Investments held
