Why invest in SCP?
UK mid-caps are positioned in a sweet spot for innovation, disruption and growth. This is one of the key reasons why the UK Mid Cap index has beaten many other developed market indices over the long term [1]. The index has also produced a significant number of '30 baggers' over the last 30 years [2] and SCP has the opportunity to invest in the best of this diverse and dynamic investment universe.
UK mid caps offer extraordinary value
The Company provides access to an undervalued part of the UK stock market. Valuations among UK mid-caps look unusually low relative to UK large-caps as well as mid‑caps from elsewhere in the world. This may bode well for future performance.
