Support Services

Support Services is a diverse sector offering a wide range of investment propositions and business models.

Although there are some recognisable subsectors, we highlight the importance of detailed ‘bottom-up’ company analysis. In particular, the requirement for rigorous evaluation of management, corporate strategies and financial strength. We further differentiate our insight through working with our valued Peel Hunt colleagues given Support Services companies often rely on the fortunes of a range of end markets. As trained accountants, we also take particular pride in helping investors navigate often highly complex financial statements. The sector devil is often in the detail. Overall we consider that our breadth of coverage, long-term experience and conviction-led approach provide unique insight to both investors and corporates.
