**Diverse Income Trust plc **([LON:DIVI](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/the-diverse-income-trust-plc/divi.l))
managers, Gervais Williams and Martin Turner at Premier Miton Investors, are currently
remarkably upbeat.

Usually, when market leadership becomes too concentrated, like now in US large-cap
technology stocks, investor preferences shift towards another group of companies.
The managers believe that equity income stocks are set to become the new market 
favourites as, in a nationalistic world when asset prices are volatile, a steady
stream of cash paid directly into investors’ bank accounts becomes a major advantage.
They expect this trend to particularly favour the UK stock market as it has a large
cohort of equity income stocks and has been devalued by persistent outflows since
Brexit.

Williams and Turner consider that many UK small-cap equity income stocks have fallen
to ‘absurdly low valuations’; hence, they are the most bullish that they have been
for 30 years. The managers anticipate a UK market super cycle, especially within
small-cap stocks, which would likely become a very favourable long-term tailwind
to DIVI’s performance, in addition to the value generated by the trust’s income 
strategy.
