‘Stay away from UK equities’: where Bentley Reid’s CIO sees opportunities

‘Stay away from UK equities’: where Bentley Reid’s CIO sees opportunities

UK equities may look cheap, but are they cheap for a reason?


Paul O’Neill, chief investment officer at Bentley Reid, joins the Asset Allocator podcast to explain why global investors should “stay away” from the UK market for now – despite seeing genuine valuation opportunities for individual investors and fund managers.


With investment flows remaining negative, the UK market shrinking and small and mid-cap equities facing challenges around liquidity and volatility, O’Neill examines what would need to change before the UK becomes a more compelling allocation for global portfolios.


He also discusses how the UK’s declining weight in global equity benchmarks has changed the way asset allocators approach the market, and why even a significant overweight to UK stocks can have a surprisingly small impact on a global portfolio.


Elsewhere, the conversation explores the investment outlook beyond equities, including what higher bond yields mean for portfolio construction and the growing role of alternative investments.
