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

UKI Markets via PUBT

Market commentary

In the UK, wage data released during the month showed average weekly earnings increasing more than expected. This caused market participants to reduce their expectations for the number of interest rate cuts from the Bank of England and saw the gilt/bund spread rise above the closing peak when Liz Truss was Prime Minister. Following their latest meeting, the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee noted that a "gradual approach to removing monetary policy restraint remained appropriate". Concerns over sticky inflation weren't just kept to the UK; during the final meeting of the year, the US Federal Reserve cut rates as expected but the latest 'dot plot' showed 50bps of expected interest rate cuts for 2025, down from 100bps in September and less than the 75bps expected by consensus.

During the month, the largest contributors to performance were Currys, International Consolidated Airline Group (IAG) and Direct Line Insurance Group (DLG). BT Group and Anglo American were detractors from performance. Currys share price rose sharply as the company announced better than expected results driven by higher profitability in both the UK

  • 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 on 27th 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 the UK government approved Bharti 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.
