Eustace Santa Barbara highlights ‘rare opportunity’ in UK smaller companies

Marlborough Special Situations Co-Manager Eustace Santa Barbara has highlighted the ‘rare opportunity’ in UK smaller companies after last year’s market falls.

In a Portfolio Adviser article focusing on the ‘unloved’ UK equity market, Eustace says the majority of the companies held in the fund are continuing to trade strongly and he believes they have very strong long-term growth prospects.

He believes last year’s sell-off has created a rare opportunity to invest in outstanding businesses at significantly lower valuations.

Eustace adds that if the economic picture begins to brighten, the investment team expect smaller companies to lead the way in an environment of improving investor confidence.
