  • Evenlode Investment View January 2020
    Evenlode Investment View January 2020 In this month’s investment view, I’ll review 2019 for Evenlode Income and briefly discuss my thoughts on the outlook. I’ve also included a summary of the fourth quarter as an appendix for those interested. It’s been a relatively quiet start to 2020 so far, with Evenlode Income up +1.3% and the UK market +1.2%*. The full year results season is commencing with lots of company updates due over the next few weeks. I’ll discuss some key themes that we’re hearing from the corporate world in February’s investment view. From Pessimism to Optimism At the beginning of 2019, investor sentiment was quite negative with worries over rising interest rate rises, trade tariffs, the global economy and Brexit. This had caused a significant sell-off in most stock markets at the end of 2018 and was beginning to create a valuation environment that we felt was as interesting as it had been for three or four years. Since then sentiment has, quite sharply, swung towards optimism. Though the global economy did slow during the year, it’s just about muddled along, and perhaps most significantly for financial assets, monetary policy was eased. Towards the end of the year better news on US/China trade tariffs and more clarity on the UK’s political situation also helped. This meant 2019 ended up being a strong year for most global stock markets. A Long-Term Approach Evenlode Income returned 24.3% during the year compared to 19.2% for the FTSE All-Share.
