Jean Roche of Schroder UK Mid Cap Fund on backing tomorrow’s UK market leaders today in FTSE 250.

In this special edition of the podcast, we’re joined by Jean Roche, manager of the Schroder UK Mid Cap Fund (LON:SCP). This investment trust’s strapline is ‘backing tomorrow’s UK market leaders today’. And maths whizz Roche believes UK mid-caps are positioned in a sweet spot for growth. Our special guest explains why investors should consider an allocation to mid caps. She sees a compelling valuation case for UK mid caps. The asset class looks inexpensive on valuation metrics including the price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio. In addition, Jean discusses the FTSE 250’s long-term performance. She also highlights some key misconceptions investors have about the mid cap index. Our guest also walks us through the outlook for mid cap M&A and explains why she added online greeting cards platform Moonpig (LON:MOON) to the portfolio.
