  • The Second Release of Prima & Ultima
    Notes to Editors: Recommended Retail Selling Price for the full set is £23,500 (including tax and duty) in UK Bottle sizes: 70cl Global Registration Live: 4th August 2021 Global Registration Closes: 23rd August 2021 Link for registration: www.theprimaandultimacollection.com The Second Release of Prima & Ultima: All of the Single Malt Scotch Whiskies included are natural cask strength, non-chill filtered, with no colour added. Auchroisk 1974 47-Year-Old | 48.7% ABV Bottled: 26.01.2121 | Single Refill European Oak Butt Number Bottled: 382 | Mulben, Speyside The very first cask to be filled at Auchroisk when distilling began on 15th January 1974, this cask has been kept back for many years for its character and its rarity. Remarkably rich and spicy, with fruity aromas and smooth flavours. Lagavulin 1992 28-Year-Old | 47.7% ABV Bottled: 20.01.2021 | 5 Freshly Charred American Oak Hogsheads Number Bottled: 1,081 | Port Ellen, Isle of Islay The first of its kind from a small experimental batch matured entirely on Islay in freshly charred American Oak hogsheads, this is a very rare Lagavulin. Time has mellowed the smoky nature of this spirit making it elegantly rounded and smooth in texture. Linkwood 1981 39-Year-Old | 52.9% ABV Bottled: 25.01.21 | 4 new American Oak casks, PX Oloroso seasoned Number Bottled: 701 | Elgin | Speyside Part of the first pioneering trial exploring different maturation processes at the distillery, this triple- rare expression gives it an incredible depth. The rich flavours and aromas of a PX/Oloroso-seasoned cask are deeply integrated with the creamy texture and spicy, toasted characters brought by the new American Oak.

  • Mind the Gap (Again): Beware the Bubble in Growth / Low Volatility Stocks
    July 2019 FOR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS ONLY Mind the gap (again): beware the bubble in growth / low volatility stocks James Lowen & Clive Beagles, JOHCM UK Equity Income Fund Back in January we wrote a paper (‘Mind the gap: five valuation arguments for the JOHCM UK Equity Income Fund’) which, as well as highlighting what we believed was a strong case for the value contained within our fund, underlined how thoroughly undervalued the UK stock market was versus its international peers. That hasn’t changed, if anything UK stocks are even more unloved by overseas investors and domestic fund buyers as the Brexit process rolls on. As for our own fund, while it is up 7.8% since we wrote that paper (to 30 June 2019), it has continued to underperform as growth/low volatility shares have continued to dominate (its benchmark, the FTSE All-Share Index 12pm adjusted, is up 13.0% over the same time period). We highlight later in the document why the relative value inherent in the fund is, in our view, even greater now than it was at the start of the year. Our focus in this paper, though, is to offer evidence for our view that a dangerous bubble with historical parallels has formed in growth/low volatility stocks. Remarkably, this bubble has become so inflated that it has surpassed the TMT bubble of 1999- 2000 in scale. This can be seen in the first graph below, which shows the price performance of the MSCI Europe Growth index relative to the MSCI Europe Value index, and the second graph, which highlights the growth mega-cycle we have witnessed since the global financial crisis, with growth stocks surging to levels beyond those seen at the start of the century.
