Small UK firms are good investments, expert claims

Mon, 18 Aug 2008

Shares in smaller UK firms are "mis-priced" and the assets offer "some compelling investment opportunities", one expert has claimed.

According to Gervais Williams, head of UK smaller companies at investment firm Gartmore, while the outlook for the country's stock market as a whole is uncertain, there are bargains to be had.

He said: "We're finding companies that are not only undervalued but plainly mis-priced. Some of these stocks could rise by a multiple of our invested capital over time."

Firms involved in sectors such as technology should prove good investments, Mr Williams added.

Last week, broker TD Waterhouse announced that it is to cut charges for those opening investment funds through the firm.

According to the company it has discounted the fee on more than 900 of the investment products it sells.

Of these, 429 will have no charge at all, while 282 of the investments will have a charge of not more than 0.25 per cent.
