The Law Debenture Corporation (LWDB) continued to successfully navigate challenging conditions in H123, growing its professional services business (IPS) in line with its mid to high single-digit target, while consolidating its strong, long-term performance record. This rare combination of a UK investment trust and the cash-generative IPS operating business has delivered outperformance of its broad UK equity benchmark over multiple periods with a strong record of dividend growth.
In the past two years, investors have pulled £19.7bn out of open-ended UK equity funds – the equivalent of the entire market capitalisation of Tesco – with negative net sales in all but two of the past 24 months, and outflows of over £12bn in the last 12 months alone. UK equity valuations (measured on a forward P/E basis) are close to record discounts versus the US and are also historically low compared with European equities. Across the three AIC UK equity sectors, discounts to NAV stand at an ...

In challenging conditions, The Law Debenture Corporation (LWDB) has reported robust 2022 results. IPS delivered its fifth consecutive year of growth, in line with its mid-to-high single-digit target. The extreme polarisation of equity market performance, with only a handful of large companies generating positive returns worked against the investment managers’ consistent, diversified, value-driven approach in 2022.
