Temple Bar Investment Trust Plc-Monthly Fact Sheet as at 31 December 2024
Market commentary
In the
During the month, the largest contributors to performance were Currys,
Ireland and the Nordics. This came on top of prior gains and meant that the Currys share price rose almost 90% in 2024. IAG's share price continued to perform well into the year-end; the company's share price performed well in 2024 thanks to increasing demand in transatlantic travel, the introduction of new Airbus planes and a reinstatement of the dividend. DLG accepted an improved bid offer from Aviva valuing the company at 275p a share, a 73% premium to the closing price on27th November 2024 , when the news of the takeover was first reported.
BT Group was the largest detractor in the month giving up some of the gains it had enjoyed in November. During the month theUK government approvedBharti Global's acquisition of a 24.5% stake in BT after a national security assessment.Anglo American was also a detractor from performance; the company is currently restructuring its portfolio to focus on copper and iron ore production.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.
