FTAdviser Podcast

Value investing is an investment philosophy whereby the investor buys assets that they believe to be undervalued by the market and thus have the potential to generate returns.Over the last 12 months there has been a shift from growth to value: Surging inflation and commodity prices have been hugely beneficial for legacy companies in the oil and gas, and mining sectors as they have been able to take advantage of the global energy crisis and the switching on of demand post-Covid. An environment of rising interest rates is also helping value stocks to appear more valuable, as growth companies tend to have longer-term cash flow horizons; hence their valuations are affected more by rising rates.So, with the increasing focus on sustainability can one be sustainable and a value investor at the same time?Joining Ima Jackson-Obot, deputy features editor at FTAdviser, to discuss the topic are Roberta Barr, head of value team ESG - fund manager at Schroders, and Stuart Clark, WealthSelect portfolio manager at Quilter Investors.The FTAdviser podcast is the podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FTAdviser.

In this episode of the FTAdviser In Focus podcast we assess the Retail Distribution Review 10 years on. The RDR was implemented on 31.12. 2012, introducing a raft of measures to make the advice market more transparent and professional, in order to inspire consumer confidence and trust. But while professionalism has increased there have also been a fair few scandals. Square Mile's Scott Dakers and Morningstar's Martin Coyle assess whether the RDR has achieved the goals it was designed to achieve. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
