The U.K. FTSE Is A Contrarian Value Investors’ Dream

The U.K. market is a standout, not because it’s a highflyer, but because it has been left behind by all the other major indexes in Europe and the U.S. It’s an unpopular view but it seems logical to say you’ve seen one company in a sector and you’ve seen them all, so it is easy to compare big companies on the U.K. bourse with those in the U.S. and Europe and see a big discrepancy in valuation with the U.K. and its listed companies coming out as deep value.

That should make investors’ mouths water but this terrible performance has been going on for decades, so is it ever going to change?
