UK equities have had a good year, but don’t make the mistake of thinking the valuation gap has closed, says Laura Foll of @law_debenture taking the stage at the @_investorsummit @AICPRESS

It’s a different story in the renewable energy sector says David Bird of Octopus Renewables where wide discounts persist. But valuations reflect the kind of prices institutions are actually paying for underlying assets and are robust, he adds.

Rhys Davies says that investors like the security of contractual income payments that you get from bonds, plus the mark-to-market valuations - hence the fact his trust (Invesco Bond Income Plus) trades at a premium.

Sue Noffke says that the ā€œwake up callā€ from Saba and US bids for UK businesses show increased appetite for lowly valued UK listed companies. The missing piece of the puzzle is more demand from domestic investors.

The pace of AI progress, if it continues, means that we will have ā€œartificial general intelligenceā€ - intelligence on tap in the same way that water is on tap, says Alastair. Hard to imagine how transformational/ disruptive that would be.

The £850m Ruffer Investment Company (RICA) maintains low 25% equity exposure & adds credit protections as its defensive managers get increasingly concerned over US prospects. They also took profits on silver & platinum but retain 6% in gold miners.

.@BillKay9 rates Polar Capital Technology Trust and Allianz Technology Trust as buys in @TimesBusiness due to their "Different but equally valid approaches to leveraging AI growth." He concludes: the broader trends are absolutely clear. It is a sector to be involved in."
