Simon French | Panmure Gordon's Chief Economist On Why UK Equities Are Undervalued

For the second episode of our new podcast series Moving Averages, we are very pleased to release an interview with Panmure Gordon's Chief Economist Simon French.

Prior to joining stockbroker Panmure Gordon, Simon French worked for the UK Government, holding positions including Senior Economist and Chief of Staff to the UK Government COO.

The subject of the podcast is a new piece of research written by Simon French for Panmure Gordon titled "Cheap like the budgie or a canary in the coal mine?", that looks at the UK equities market and why it is currently undervalued.

The episode also touches on the post-Brexit referendum landscape, the current state of UK valuations, real wage growth and the country's near and long term economic outlook.

The interview was conducted by economist Scott Evans, who has held positions such as First VP of Research at Merrill Lynch & Head of Equity Research at Espirito Santo, and is the co-author of the Numis Smaller Companies Index.
