Market Roundup Global Equity Markets Have Largely 11 December 2020 Market roundup Chart 1: UK GDP level October Global equity markets have largely trended downwards over the 120 past week in the absence of a new US stimulus deal and wors- ening rates of Covid-19 infections. In the UK, Brexit has weighed 100 on the pound which has seen the FTSE100 buck the trend and 80 eke out gains, since a weaker pound boosts the index’s dollar- earning multinationals. The more domestically focused 60 FTSE250, however, has lost ground as hopes of a deal have 40 faded. Most markets fell on Monday, with the FTSE100 down just 0.08% and the FTSE250 closing 1.25% lower. In the US, indices 20 were mixed, with the Dow losing 0.49% and the S&P 500 falling 0 by 0.19%. But the Nasdaq rose by 0.45% to 12,519.95 as the threat of lockdowns increased.

Chart 2: Retail sales (%YoY) November The FTSE100 and FTSE250 both rose again on Wednesday as markets looked forward to Boris Johnson’s dinner with the EU 10 commissioner. In the US, the Nasdaq gained 0.54% but the Dow 5 and S&P500 both fell slightly as faith in the recovery was rocked 0 by worse than expected employment data. On Thursday, the -5 Brexit effect was more pronounced than ever, as the pound fell on rising pessimism, helping the FTSE100 rise by 0.54%, while -10 the FTSE250 lost 0.64% to close 19,756.10 as deal talks re- -15 mained deadlocked. The pound lost 0.72% against the dollar and -20 1.11% against the euro, compounding the weakness seen all week. In early trading on Friday, UK shares were heading down. -25 Company focus: Frasers Group 12/2018 12/2015 04/2016 08/2016 12/2016 04/2017 08/2017 12/2017 04/2018 08/2018 04/2019 08/2019 12/2019 04/2020 08/2020 Frasers Group, owner of brands including Sports Direct and Ev- ans Cycles, raised its profit guidance for the full year after re- Source: British Retail Consortium Data at 15/11/2020 porting higher profits at its half-year results, driven largely by Chart 3: Frasers Group revenue strong online sales but complemented by good performance at its bricks and mortar stores.

It said pre-tax profits for the six months to October rose to £106m, from £90m a year earlier.

Source: Frasers Group Q1 report Data at 26/04/2020 Sources: Bloomberg, Sharecast, FT, company reports and accounts Economic roundup All eyes in the UK this week have been on Brexit negotiations, and after Boris Johnson and European Commission Presi- dent Ursula von der Leyen pushed back a final decision on a Brexit trade deal until Sunday, it appears a no-deal has become the much more likely outcome. The major sticking point is the so-called ‘level playing field’. The EU is concerned that, as its rules and standards evolve over time (raising environmental, safety or employee rights regulations, for example), the UK could choose not to follow suit, meaning it could benefit from lower costs and might therefore become more competitive than the EU when doing business in other markets. Many are holding out hopes that a last-minute agreement can be reached because it is very bad timing for a no-deal Brexit, giving the UK economy is already struggling more than most. Data released by the Office for National Statistics on Thursday showed the pace of economic expansion in the UK fell sharply in October, to a rate of just 0.4%. This represents a slowdown from the 2.2% monthly growth in August and 1.1% expansion in September. Despite six months of continued expansion, economic output in the UK is still 7.9% below pre- pandemic levels. And with Covid-19 restrictions set to remain in place for several more months, the economy is facing a harsh enough winter without the extra burdens of bitter Brexit. The news came after a survey by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) showed retail sales struggled in November amid the second national lockdown. According to the latest BRC/KPMG Retail Sales Monitor for November, total sales increased 0.9%. That’s an improvement on November 2019, when sales fell by 0.9%, but it is well below the three-month average growth figure of 3.9%, and even further down on October’s jump of 4.9%. In the US, hopes were raised for a new stimulus deal, after Republicans tabled a proposal worth $916bn, a week after the release of a bipartisan package worth $908bn, called the Bipartisan Emergency COVID Relief Act of 2020. That means policymakers are squabbling over which of two relief packages to approve. The bipartisan act favoured by Democrats provides for more generous extensions to unemployment benefits than the pack- age proposed by Republicans. Indications are that negotiations will go down to the wire. Further pressure to pass more stimulus came on Thursday, with initial jobless claims in the US accelerating to 853,000 last week. The increase was caused by rising Covid-19 cases causing more lockdowns. The figure is an increase from 716,000 the previous week, according to the US labour department. Co-operation on economic assistance was more evident in Europe. The ECB increased its monetary support to the euro- zone this week, with an extra £500bn in bond purchases together with new and expanded discounted finance schemes that provide finance to banks at rates as low as -1%, effectively paying banks to lend money. The idea is to boost access to finance for businesses and households and aid the economic recovery. Company announcements that caught our attention this week: Date Company Comment 09/12/2020 Balfour Beatty Infrastructure group Balfour Beatty said it would resume dividends and would embark on a £50m share buyback in January as it reported a ‘significantly higher’ order book, totalling around £17bn, largely a result of the HS2 rail project. The figure is up from £14.3bn last year. Full year group revenue was expected to be in line with the prior year’s £8.4bn and profit from operations forecast to be in line with the expectations. The company also said it won £1bn in other contracts, including a runway project at Hong Kong’s airport, UK motorway work and a US interstate highway project. All its sites were now open and operating under local regulations. 10/12/2020 TUI TUI, Europe’s largest holiday company, reported a €3bn (£2.7bn) full-year loss this week, adding that it does not expect bookings to return to pre-Covid-19 levels until 2022. The package tour operator reported revenues down 58% to €7.9bn (£7.2bn) compared to last year due the collapse in international travel. The company said it was increasing its cost-cutting targets to €400m per year, an increase of €100m to previous guidance, as it strives for efficiencies It added that the prospect of vaccinations from the beginning of the year will significantly increase demand for summer holidays in 2021, although winter bookings across all of its markets are 82% lower than the previous year.

  • 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.

    Litigation & Arbitration Group Client Alert Case Law Update: Legal Professional Privilege 4 November 2020 Key Contacts Charles Evans William Charles Rosy Villar Partner Partner Associate +44 20.7615.3090 +44 20.7615.3076 +44 20.7615.3196 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] In several recent judgments in cases centring on complex commercial and regulatory disputes, the High Court has grappled with a number of important aspects of legal professional privilege under English law. Certain of these decisions, and their implications for parties to such disputes, are highlighted below. Litigation privilege: sole or dominant purpose In the latest judgment in the long-running disclosure dispute between Frasers Group plc (formerly Sports Direct International plc) (“SDI”) and the Financial Reporting Council Ltd (the “FRC”),1 the High Court has considered the requirement for a communication to be made for the sole or dominant purpose of conducting litigation in order for litigation privilege to apply. Background By way of brief reminder, English litigation privilege covers confidential communications between clients or their lawyers and third parties for the purpose of obtaining information or advice in connection with litigation, provided three conditions are met: (i) the litigation must be in progress or reasonably in contemplation, (ii) the litigation must be adversarial, not investigative or inquisitorial, and (iii) the communications must have been made for the sole or dominant purpose of conducting that litigation.2 FRC v Frasers Group concerned a notice issued by the FRC to SDI requiring the production of certain documents in connection with an investigation into SDI’s former auditors, Grant Thornton UK LLP (“GT”), in accordance with the FRC’s investigatory powers under the Statutory Auditors and Third Country Auditors Regulations 2016.
