U.K. stocks have taken a hammering since the coronavirus pandemic emerged in Europe in early spring, with thedown 21.5% year-to-date. Aside from the economic damage wrought by the virus, U.K. market sentiment has been buffeted by ongoing uncertainty over Brexit. A no-deal scenario would very likely lead to a depreciation of sterling against other major currencies that could boost the attractiveness of U.K. stocks, but Wall said the situation was not that simple in the case of a no-deal Brexit.

"Having said that, at these prices, if you're talking a long-term view, the U.K. is very cheap. Although it might be a bumpy ride over the next six to 12 months. in the long-term view, these prices are pretty compelling," she said.
