Focusing on US Equities with Mark Sherlock, Federated Hermes
The IBOSS Investment Team are joined by Mark Sherlock, Head of US Equities and Lead Portfolio Manager, at Federated Hermes Limited. For most of the last 20 years, though not since 2018, the valuations of the US mid and small-cap indices have been higher than the S&P 500, but currently they trade on a near-record discounts. However, the argument for mean reversion is compelling and valuations are relatively cheap, therefore, there are some attractively valued investment opportunities in the small mid-cap space. But, is now a good time to get involved and invest for the long term, or is more patience required for investors due to macro-economic and geo-political factors?

Focusing on the UK Stock Market with Mark Slater, Slater Investments
The UK economy, just like the rest of the world, is currently facing one of its toughest times in recent history and it may take some time to climb out of the rut it's currently in. However, for investors, the UK stock market is a separate entity to the economy and 2023 is starting to look more positive in terms of opportunities and the potential for returns. This includes the Slater Growth fund, which is held across multiple IBOSS ranges, and like many UK funds right now is looking cheap relative to history. Mark and our investment team discuss the UK equity investing backdrop, and specifically where opportunities are being found, as well as any continuing Brexit effects and quantifying the outcomes of developing UK government policies.

Focusing on Fixed Income with Jenna Barnard, Janus Henderson
The interest rate-raising environment has provided the fixed income space many challenges this year. The developed world central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, have badly misunderstood the inflation dynamics and are now playing catch-up. Whilst the first nine months of 2022 have been some of the worst in history for fixed income overall, we think there are starting to be some opportunities for positive returns. Jenna and our Investment Team discussed the fixed income sector in detail and what their plans are for the remainder of the year, as well as heading into 2023.
