‘The other aspect that people are missing on the valuation is the significant amount of deposits the bank is not making money off, so there is a huge underdeveloped earnings power it has got when rates start to go up.

Staveley also bought into Close Brothers in January, pointing to its attractive yield, strong balance sheet and the turnaround potential in its asset management business.
The fund is currently yielding around 4% and has posted a 43% return over the three years to the end of February, while the FTSE 350 Higher Yield index rose 33.2%, according to Lipper.
