Scottish Widows doubles down on the US - but is it smart?

2 days ago | investorschronicle.co.uk | Alex Newman

In May, the ratio of US stocks in the MSCI World index edged up 42 basis points, to 71.5 per cent. That was quite the rebound. Although the S&P 500 had recovered most of its tariff-induced fall by the end of April, a sharp dip in the dollar during the month served to cut the allocation by 95 basis points. That meant it was also 290 basis points down on the end of 2024, when the weighting peaked at 73.9 per cent. “So what?” readers might ask.

Greencore (GNC), which supplies supermarkets with pre-packed foods, has topped a second mid-cap Alpha screen in a week as it heads the quality screen. The business is in the middle of a proposed takeover of Bakkavor (BAKK). It is worth watching institutional activity around this stock before buying. On the UK large cap screen, Auto Trader (AUTO), Experian (EXPN) and Sage (SGE) lead the way, passing all the tests.

The retailer has excess stock to shift following a recent cyber attackPublished on June 23, 2025Marks and Spencer (MKS) kicked off its summer sale on 19 June with a bit more stock to shift than usual. The cyber attack that hit the company’s systems over the Easter weekend took seven weeks to sort out – and even then, the process of bringing its online ordering sites back online has been gradual.
Berkeley backs brownfield but profit dip spooks market

1 week ago | investorschronicle.co.uk | Michael Fahy

Share price fall eliminates recent gainsPlanning applications ramped upThere was something of a disconnect between the incredibly positive tone adopted by Berkeley Group (BKG) management about its prospects and the markdown the homebuilder’s shares received. Yet it’s possible that both are right.
Table-topping fund managers relying on skill, not luck

1 week ago | investorschronicle.co.uk | Dave Baxter

Studies commonly show that many active funds struggle to beat the market, especially in the longer run. But as ever, some anomalies can be found and spotting these can reward savvy investors. Each year we look at relatively small funds that scored well on a particular measure of outperformance for the level of risk taken (‘Six overlooked funds making big returns’), with the rationale that funds with fewer assets and hungrier investment teams can continue to deliver the goods.
Investors can’t predict market shocks but they can be prepared

Markets have shown a strong desire to look beyond geopolitical ructions: Brent crude oil futures may be volatile, but highs have only gone a bit past retracing falls since President Trump’s “liberation day” announcement and its attempt to re-set global trade. There aren’t yet serious signs of an energy crunch like in 1973 (after the Arab-Israeli Yom Kippur war), 1990 (when Iraqi despot Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait) or even 2022 when Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine heinously escalated.

1 week ago | investorschronicle.co.uk | Rosie Carr

It was only to be expected, on the occasion of Aim’s 30th birthday, that the usual cheery best wishes would be replaced with comments on the state of the junior market’s health and barbs about disappointing performance. To cap it all, the government’s early birthday present last Autumn was to partly cut off a key tax support. But can we blame Aim’s detractors?

Fox Crypto sale flatters profitsFull-year cyber sales set for 5% fallNCC (NCC) is a business in flux. Its confirmation in April that it is looking at a potential sale of Escode (the rebranded software escrow business that was once the bedrock of its operations) follows on from the recent disposal of its cryptographic business, Fox Crypto.
Share price momentum and acquisitions

1 week ago | investorschronicle.co.uk | James Norrington

Top of the Alpha earnings upgrade momentum screen for UK mid-caps is pre-packed food-to-go company Greencore (GNC) which supplies sandwiches and salads to supermarkets. The company reported healthy growth in operating profit at its half-year stage, but the big recent news is the proposed £1.2bn cash and shares offer for Bakkavor (BAKK), which also supplies supermarkets but with more of a focus on heat at home type foods.
