Why UK Small Caps Could Soar — Rockwood’s Richard Staveley on Value, Catalysts & Momentum

from Merryn Talks Money · host Bloomberg

Merryn Somerset Webb sits down with Richard Staveley, manager of the Rockwood Strategic, to unpack why UK smaller companies are so unloved—and why that may be a big opportunity. Richard explains Rockwood’s playbook: concentrated, benchmark-agnostic, value investing with hands-on “constructive engagement” to unlock change. They cover liquidity myths, the impact of passives and private equity, and where he sees near-term catalysts—plus what could reignite IPOs and domestic flows (think ISAs, pensions, and momentum).
