MONTHLY COMMENTARY
- The spectre of a banking crisis returned to haunt markets in the first quarter of the year, with the collapse of two mid-sized banks in the US and the fall of the much bigger Credit Suisse into the hands of its Swiss rival UBS, a transaction orchestrated by Swiss regulators.
- When sizeable banks fail investors are rightly nervous, and this was immediately reflected in markets. Shares of banks inevitably suffered much larger falls, with the MSCI World Banks index down by 16%, wiping out all of the sector's earlier gains this year when banks had performed well, seen as beneficiaries of higher interest rates.
- We introduced Barclays to the portfolio. Barclays is a global UK headquartered bank providing services in consumer and business banking, investment banking, and the Barclaycard credit card business. The company has been de-rating for over a decade but is now better capitalised. A higher interest rate environment should also be supportive for the sector. Shares trade at a price to book of just 0.5x and yield around 5%.
- Capita released strong FY22 results with revenue increasing by 2.4% to £2,845m. Management are increasingly confident of sustainable revenue growth in the medium term. Profits grew strongly resulting from reduced restructuring costs and contract related provisions or impairments, revenue growth also helped. The company also announced the disposal of its three resourcing businesses for £21m and this follows the recent disposal of the Pay360 payments processing business, two real estate and infrastructure consultancy businesses, as well as Optima Legal, and Capita Translation and Interpreting. The company remains focused on selling a number of non-core portfolio businesses to strengthen the balance sheet and focus on its two core divisions. We believe significant upside remains, despite the shares having rallied 27% over the month and over 50% so far year-to-date.
