Beaufort’s IPO Guide Special Report

As a respected Private Client Stockbroker, Beaufort Securities
is in the fortunate situation of being able to participate in third
party IPOs on behalf of private investors. We consider this provides
additional opportunity given that our analysts pro-actively screen for
those that might present value on a twelve month view. The reason
companies wish to come to the stock market are varied and it can be
a daunting task for entrepreneurs who suddenly find the management
and the Company will come under increasing public scrutiny. We see
our job as assessing the management for not only its ability to carry
out its plans, be they steady or aggressive organic growth, or if
there is a buy and build strategy, but can they cope with being a
listed company.

Beaufort’s EU Referendum Special Report

EU Day, 23rd June 2016: Investment Beneficiaries of a ‘Remain’ Result
Accompanying this note are four trading recommendations which are
expected to provide a reasonable investment return in the run-up to
an eventual ‘Remain’ result and beyond. Obviously, a difficulty in
identifying suitable ‘runners’ is that some of the sectors, such as
UK House Builders, have been rallying since mid-April with gains
already ranging between 15% and 20% while, over the same period, the
FTSE 100 has declined by 3%. It would appear that some investors
have successfully jumped the gun and it may prove to be the case
that ‘it is better to travel than to arrive’. It is recognised
that a ‘Brexit’ vote may not be helpful for the UK House Builders
due to, amongst other things, potential shortages of suitable labour,
mortgage availability and the impact on house buyer confidence.
Conversely, a ‘Remain’ vote should be positive and, indeed, the
recent rallies may have a little further to run.

Beaufort Securities Review and Outlook

2015 – A Year of False Dawns. 2016 – A Year of Mixed Fortunes? 
Looking ahead into 2015 a year ago, the main concerns were the falling price of
oil (then at $60 per barrel for Brent crude), the timing of Central Bank interest
rate rises and the likely impact on global growth of economic restructuring in
China. Twelve months later we can see that, while the rate of change at the
macro level has slowed down, the pace of activity at the micro level has
accelerated. The uncertainty engendered among investors by the U.S. Federal
Reserve’s inability to strike a firm pose and start to raise interest rates sooner
has produced on occasions a form of ‘Headless Chicken Syndrome’ in markets.
Most major market indices have been erratic, shifting between seemingly
committed rallies and falls off a cliff almost within the space of a heartbeat – in
essence, schizophrenic.		 Full Report

HB Markets View 2013 – Equity Markets are cheap by any measure

“Most City stockbrokers appear to be indicating a 10% rise in the FTSE 100 –
some even beyond 6500 (as at 28th Dec 2012 FTSE closed 5925.37). Apart
from an exercise in guessing, what I do know is not necessarily where the UK
equity market will be in 1 year from now, but that on most fundamental and
historical measures it is cheap. Long-term investors should be buying UK
Equities.”

The Midas Touch – Three AIM gold stocks to tuck away

Is Gold a bubble or an opportunity? Gold is regarded as a safe haven in difficult
economic times. There has been a decided shift in Central Banks having
previously been net sellers of Gold to net buyers. Operation Twist has led to a
stronger US Dollar and the gold price has slipped. Gold share price meanwhile
have lagged behind the price of the commodity itself. Demand for gold remains
robust and supply side is constrained, with the gold price still in a bull phase
over 10 years, and production has been largely flat. In this report we place
speculative buy recommendations on three AIM-listed gold stocks.

Oil Price – A One-Way Bet?

John Gapper of the FT reminds us that in 1999 The Economist declared we
were ‘drowning in oil’, and considered whether oil prices would fall to US$5 a
barrel. Come eight years later; oil at US$145 a barrel. Thus highlights the
pitfalls of oil price prediction. Indeed, it is probably true of all natural
resources from water to food and metals that price prediction is hazardous
especially in the short to medium term. What is not in doubt is the long
term demand is on an upward trend, with resources becoming scarcer.

UK Stocks for US Consumer Recovery

European consumers are battling with unemployment and austerity-focused
governments. In China, consumers seem to have lost a bit of their enthusiasm
and recent trade data indicates that exports are slowing. However, on the
other side of the Atlantic, corporate results have shown positive signs for
a while and lately US macro indicators have supported a relatively optimistic
view of the US economy and the US consumer. The US stock market has
started to price in a recovery. And whilst US stocks are far from expensive
we believe we can find better value in UK stocks with US consumer exposure
than from domestically focused US companies. In this report we present
our macro case for US consumer exposure and screen the FTSE 350 for quality
stocks to capitalise on the US consumer recovery.
