Corporate activity in 2023 - a significant year for UK equities

Fund managers Ken Wotton and Brendan Gulston present on the unearthed potential of UK equities in 2023.

With the FTSE 100 close to record highs, and the UK stock market showing signs that it has further to climb, many compelling small and mid-cap stocks are still trading at considerable discounts compared with the mega caps that outperformed last year.

After a seven-year slide in relative valuations, UK equities haven’t been so attractively priced for 30 years. As a result, they have seen a significant step up in corporate takeover activity over the last two years.

Ken and Brendan discuss why they believe takeover activity will become an even more prominent feature of UK public market activity during 2023, as corporate and private equity buyers seek to benefit from depressed valuations.
