Talking Point: The outlook for UK companies

The past few years have been a turbulent one for British companies, with the Brexit negotiations followed by coronavirus lockdowns. And the UK is often caricatured as home to big financial services or commodities companies - many of which face structural challenges - but not to tech start-ups. But what opportunities are there in the UK?

In this special edition of the FTAdviser Podcast, sponsored by Schroders, FTAdviser digital editor Damian Fantato examines what the outlook is for UK listed companies.

He is joined by Paul Lamacraft, senior investment director at Schroders, Pieter Fourie, head of global equities at Sanlam, and Louise Kernohan, portfolio manager on the BNY Mellon UK Equity fund.

They discuss the impact of Brexit, the UK small- and mid-cap landscape, the effects of inflation on UK equities and the role of bond yields in the performance of different parts of the UK equity market.

The FTAdviser Podcast is the weekly podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FTAdviser. Each week, FTAdviser is joined by guests from the industry to discuss the week in news and pressing industry issues.
