  • Finn-Ancial Times Finncap Financials & Insurance Quarterly Sector Note
    finn-ancial Times finnCap Financials & Insurance quarterly sector note Q3 2020 | Issue 9 Highlights this quarter: Elevated uncertainty and volatility have been hallmarks of the last 18 months, with Brexit, the UK General Election and more recently COVID-19 all contributing to the challenges that face investors wishing to carve out solid and stable returns amid these ‘unprecedented’ times. With this is mind, and simulating finnCap’s proven Slide Rule methodology, we found the highest quality and lowest value stocks across the financials space, assessing how the make-up of these lists changed over the period January 2019 to July 2020, tracking indexed share price performance over the period as well as movements in P/E and EV/EBIT valuations. The top quartile list of Quality companies outperformed both the Value list and the FTSE All Share by rising +2.5% over the period versus -5.4% for the All Share and -14.3% for Value stocks. Furthermore, the Quality list had protection on the downside in the market crash between February and March 2020, and accelerated faster amid the market rally between late March and July 2020. From high to low (January to March), Quality moved -36.3% against the Value list at -45.5%, while a move off the lows to July was +37.4% for Quality and +34.0% for Value. There was some crossover between the Quality and Value lists, with 7 companies of the top quartile (16 companies in total) appearing in both the Quality and Value lists. This meant that a) investors could capture what we call ‘Quality at Value’ (i.e.

The new UK Corporate Governance Code, to take effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, includes some far reaching changes, and the year ahead will be a period of review and change for many companies. Remuneration committees must look at how best to adapt to an expanded remit around workforce remuneration, as well as a greater focus on how judgment is used to ensure that pay outcomes are justified and supported by performance. Against this backdrop, 2018 has been a mixed year in the FTSE 250 executive pay environment. In terms of pay outcomes, the picture is relatively stable. Overall pay levels have fallen for FTSE 250 chief executives and we have seen continued momentum in companies adopting executive alignment features such as holding periods, as well as strengthening shareholding guidelines for executives.

  • The IPO Review EQ Boardroom, Equiniti the IPO REVIEW
    The IPO Review EQ Boardroom, Equiniti THE IPO REVIEW Introduction “I am delighted to present our IPO round-up for 2018. Decisions on whether or not to list had to be taken against a political as well as a financial context, especially by UK boards. With concerns about disruptions to trade, investors have been apprehensive, especially in the latter part of the year. However, we have also seen outstandingly successful listings which have captured investors’ imaginations and turned well-served customers into enthusiastic shareholders. Such successes demonstrate that sophisticated and liquid markets like London cannot be distracted from opportunities to invest in strong and forward-looking enterprises. Overseas companies looking to list are coming to London in ever greater numbers, attracted by our ready capital, transparency and regulatory standards. In this way London continues to help power the global economy and in turn we at Equiniti are proud to help power the London market. As the largest provider of shareholder services in the UK we count the majority of FTSE 100 companies as clients and with our record of helping companies to list, we look forward to swelling their ranks.” Paul Matthews CEO, EQ Boardroom 02 THE IPO REVIEW Contents 02 Introduction 04 Executive Summary 05 Sector Analysis Highlights of Main 06 Market Listings 07 Highlights of AIM Listings The Battle to Attract 08 International Tech IPOs 09 2018 vs 2017 10 Outlook 2019 03 THE IPO REVIEW Executive Summary With global free trade under Stout-hearted retailers also listed Overall the year was down on pressure and the meaning in the year; ignoring the script 2017 in both the number of of Brexit foggier than ever, and raising money to expand listings and the money raised.
