Temple Bar Investment Trust Plc-Monthly Fact Sheet as at 31 August 2024

UKI Markets via PUBT

Market commentary

Equity markets sold off sharply at the beginning of the month due to concerns over a possible US recession and that the Federal Reserve is behind the curve in terms of rate cuts, a rate hike from the Bank of Japan, the unwinding of carry trades linked to the Japanese yen and disappointing earnings from US tech names.

Despite this, equity markets recovered loses swiftly closing the month in positive territory. During the selloff, the portfolio suffered due to its higher weighting to cyclicals which underperformed defensive names. The largest contributors to performance were GSK, Marks & Spencer and Kingfisher while BP, Shell and NatWest Group were detractors from performance.

GSK shares moved higher following a decision by the Delaware Supreme Court to review the admissibility of expert evidence related to the ongoing Zantac litigation. The Marks & Spencer share price moved to its highest level since 2017; Marks & Spencer has performed very well over the last few years taking market share in both clothing and food. Kingfisher was also a positive contributor, with the improving macro backdrop in the UK a positive for the company.

Energy companies BP and Shell were detractors during the month with Brent oil falling below $80 a barrel; it is important to re-iterate that your investment in the energy companies is not predicated on a particular view of energy prices, rather we see the companies as being lowly valued and offering an attractive margin of safety. NatWest and other European banking stocks fell on concerns of global growth at the beginning of the month.

UK equities continue to be valued at a significant discount to global equities generally. Accordingly, we believe that, notwithstanding the shorter-term uncertainties, UK equities are priced to offer relatively attractive returns into the future.
