Many take a \u2018value\u2019 approach, where they identify companies that are fundamentally sound, but have seen their share prices decline on the back of some temporary bad news or developments beyond their control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat leads some investors to look through the worst performing stocks in any given year and look for opportunities. As last year\u2019s list shows, that would have worked out for you in 2023, with an average total return \u2013 combining capital change and dividend \u2013 of +43% among the FTSE 100\u2019s worst performers from 2022. That is significantly higher than the index\u2019s +3.07% return over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table m-0 w-100\" border=\"0\">\r\n\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>\r\n\t\t\t\t<strong>2022<\/strong>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>\r\n\t\t\t\t<strong>2023 YTD<\/strong>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Ocado<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-63.15%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+24.32%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Dechra<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-50.46% <\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+47.53%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>M&amp;S<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-47.13%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+115.36%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Barratt Developments<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-46.74%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+51.11%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Segro<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-46.79%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+19.31%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Scottish Mortgage<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-46.06%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+10.14%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>JD Sports<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-42.24%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+37.65%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Taylor Wimpey<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-41.98%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+53.81%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Howden<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-38.96%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+50.14%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Halma<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-38.49%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+16.76%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td><strong>Average<\/strong><\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>-46.20%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+42.61%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td><strong>FTSE 100<\/strong><\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+0.66%<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td>+3.07%<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Bloomberg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut it is rarely that simple \u2013 you have to ask yourself whether these are companies you want to own for the long term and whether the share price fall is more than just a temporary blip. Ocado, for example, lost nearly two-thirds of its value in 2022, but that didn\u2019t stop its share price falling another -7% in the first 11 months of 2023 before its recent rally. Plus, you are also relying on timing and, as the old adage goes, it\u2019s time in the market \u2013 not timing it \u2013 that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt does, however, reveal some interesting opportunities. The weakness in Dechra\u2019s share price led to a larger peer acquiring the company. JD Sports and Taylor Wimpey are solid companies that bounced back.

Diageo is a strong company, with a broad range of premium alcohol brands in its stable and a runway for growth in a fragmented sector. Its shares slumped on a sudden change in leadership and a profits warning on the back of slowing sales in Latin America that spooked investors, but it remains a fundamentally well-run business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChemicals company Croda is another sound business that has suffered this year. A rare profits warning saw its shares fall significantly, presenting a potential buying opportunity for patient investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrudential has seen a big reverse in its share price after investors were initially positive about its prospects following a major business restructure. If you feel concerns over its exposure to a slowing Chinese economy are overdone, it could be an interesting prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNevertheless, there are some less appealing names on there too. Anglo American, Fresnillo, and British American Tobacco obviously have their ethical baggage, as may Entain for those opposed to gambling companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The importance of diversification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe mixed fortunes of all the companies mentioned underline the importance of diversification. Our research earlier this year found the odds of selecting the single best-performing asset class from a set of seven categories over 10 years are one in 282 million \u2013 twice as high as your chances of winning the EuroMillions jackpot. When you have hundreds, or even thousands, of stocks and funds to pick from, there is very little chance you will select the best performers, even with a basket of 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA professional adviser will be able to guide you through how to construct a portfolio to match your financial objectives and appetite for risk. As the last few years have shown, what is in favour today can easily become massively unpopular tomorrow, and the right spread of exposure to different assets will make sure you remain focussed on your long-term goals and shield you from short-term noise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-align-center text-center\"><strong>&#8211; ENDS-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rob Burgeman and his fellow investment managers at RBC Brewin Dolphin put together bespoke investment portfolios for clients based on their long-term objectives and their attitude to risk.
