Why this fund manager is betting BIG on the UK - Stephen Arnold | Aoris

The majority of investors are underweight the UK. The country has struggled through a decade of slow economic growth as it manages the legacy of Brexit and the FTSE 100 is full of companies that are seen as "ex-growth" or "old economy".

Which is why we were surprised to hear that Stephen Arnold of Aoris Investment Management is overweight the UK, with 5 of his 14 positions coming from this overlooked market.

So on today's episode of Basis Points we are joined by Stephen to unpack his thinking:

• What investors get wrong about the UK market
• Why UK stocks aren't tied to the UK macro story
• Stephen's philosophy on portfolio construction and his preference for concentrated portfolios
• A look at top contributors to Aoris' performance last year, including: Halma (LON: HLMA) and RELX (LON: REL)
• A deep dive on Compass Group (LON: CPG)
