Shifting sentiment
Herald Investment Trust (HRI) is approaching its 25th birthday. HRI’s manager, Katie Potts, has been at the helm since launch, delivering considerable outperformance of equity markets. She has seen significant swings in sentiment towards the technology
sector over that time. Growth stocks and the technology sector fell out of favour with investors towards the end of 2018. HRI held up better than the broader UK small cap market, but sterling weakness and worries about the UK’s future relationship with the EU weighed on returns relative to the US and large-cap dominated technology indices. Katie felt that the negative sentiment toward the sector at the end of 2018 was not reflected in reality and the recovery in stock prices in 2019, to date, suggests that investors are returning.
