The UK Investor Magazine Podcast was delighted to be joined by Abby Glennie, Deputy Head of Smaller Companies at abrdn, for a deep dive into UK smaller companies and the abrdn UK Smaller Companies Growth Trust.

We start with a discussion about the strategy, looking at the trust’s bottom-up approach to UK smaller companies. Abby details a strategy and screening process that seeks out companies meeting strict criteria for quality, growth and momentum.

Abby explains the key themes for abrdn UK Smaller Companies Growth Trust and outlines the opportunities and challenges in the coming periods.

We look at the macro influences driving stock selection, and Abby outlines her views on how a UK interest rate cut will benefit the UK small-cap space.

We run through a selection of holdings within the trust and why the team sees value in these particular UK smaller companies. Abby highlights Cairn Homes as their pick of housebuilders and we discuss why the company stands out.

The podcast concludes with a selection of portfolio companies that excite Abby the most, including recent IPO Raspberry PI.
