Stock markets comprise of many sectors and at any point in time a number of these sectors will be in economic decline and will produce below average returns to investors. The financial sector is not immune to these cycles. However, financial companies, and in particular banks, play a crucial and central role in free market economies. Money transmission is perhaps the single most important function performed in any free market economy and it is the banks’ dominance of this function that gives them tremendous economic muscle. This role will ensure that banks endure whilst other sectors come and go. Blue Planet believes that investors should only invest in those sectors that have superior long-term economic prospects and, crucially, which are undervalued. It believes that the World’s financial sector is one such sector.
