Good article, I agree with everything the author highlighted. I don't think anyone could have predicted the underperformance of the FTSE over the last 8 years, but for investors wanting to build a dividend income portfolio, the cloud does have a silver lining.
Fleccy, indeed, we have all underlined in the past the importance of a solid and consistent ownership to ensure the longevity of homegrown businesses and ecosystem. Just by narrowing it down to telcos, simply look at Swisscom, Orange and Deutsche. All three have solid in-country large institutional shareholder backing. Critical in drawing a line in the sand.
What institutional investors are doing to FTSE listed companies is akin to parents dissing their own children in favour of neighbour's. I opine there should be a law demanding a minimum investment in UK markets. After all, pension funds are managing the 'income" from the same FTSE employees, whose livelihood is highly correlated to their employers' ability to perform in the markets.
Here is the link to the full article. In my opinion, the lack of institutional backing is the main driving factor behind the significant underperformance of UK stocks.

72.2 please boss
I notice your post is in quotes, was it from an article? It reads like something I might have said lol.
"In the late 1990s, UK pension funds and insurance companies owned more than half of UK stocks. Over the past 25 years, these asset managers have de-risked by selling stocks to buy safer bonds. Hence, their ownership of UK stocks has crashed to 4% today.
In summary, the FTSE 100 has missed out by miles on the rally in global stocks. But this has left it incredibly cheap, both in historic and geographical terms. And that’s why I keep on buying cheap UK shares!"
75p for me please Bob
Heartwarming to see Group General Counsel invest £100k in VOD shares at back end of last week. Encouraging.

So basically, a banker who is himself underperforming is readily parting advice as to how to make money. You couln't make this stuff up 😂
