Merryn Talks Money

The bad news may soon be over for UK small caps

Smaller UK companies were among the worst performing assets in the world last year. That made 2022 a tough time for small cap fund managers. But small caps very rarely see two down years in a row, says Anna Macdonald, fund manager at Amati. She joins host Merryn Somerset Webb on this week’s Merryn Talks Money. Macdonald shares her suggestions for the stocks to buy in this kind of environment—think trains, hospital software and specialty lenders. Plus, senior reporter John Stepek joins to discuss Rishi Sunak's five pledges for British voters to hold him to.  Sign up for John's newsletter Money Distilled <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/newsletters">here</a>. See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
