Brochure, application form and term sheetInvestec USD S&P 500 Value Index Autocall
Post the recent Covid-19 driven market rout and dramatic recovery in US stocks, Value Investing has emerged as a
dominant investment strategy theme for 2021 and beyond. This has been driven by post-pandemic crisis recovery, central
bank stimulus, political dynamics and increasing perceived risk in other major indices where the technology heavy
weighting has driven valuations to all-time highs. The focus on economic factors post vaccinations are forecast to drive
performance in the value sectors which were most exposed to the recent market drop, such as industrials, financials,
materials, amongst others.
Value investing is the practice of choosing stocks based on their perceived inexpensiveness due to the difference in their
trading price versus their intrinsic value. This is in comparison to growth stocks, comprised mostly from the technology
sector, which currently have exceptionally high valuations, and uncompetitive market pricing for optionality, and the
market expecting a possible correction in this over-concentrated sector in the near future.
Valuation spreads between value and growth stocks are at all-time highs, providing an opportunity for value investors to
extract profit. As a result, Investec Structured Products is proud to announce the Investec USD S&P 500 Value index
Autocall, providing investors with exposure to the US equity and currency markets with a high degree of capital protection.
