I shouldn’t really bemoan this, because UK small caps have been doing very well. Indeed, the same theme keeps recurring because it keeps on delivering; share price momentum is a key Alpha screen criteria.
Smaller companies are regarded as being particularly sensitive to economic conditions and therefore have much to gain from a post pandemic recovery.
While the screen has once again highlighted some of its recent familiar favourites this month, there are also new names with interesting investment stories.
