Die relative Bewertung des Basiskonsumgütersektors ist aktuell so niedrig wie seit fast 25 Jahren nicht mehr, und seine Gewichtung im MSCI World Index ist die geringste in diesem Jahrhundert. Dennoch hat sich der Sektor in den letzten vier außergewöhnlich turbulenten Jahren als widerstandsfähig erwiesen. Sein Wachstum basiert auf stabilen Einnahmen aus dem Verkauf von Produkten des täglichen Bedarfs. Dank dieser operativen Stärke in wirtschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten spielen Basiskonsumgüterunternehmen, die sich durch Agilität, Innovation und hohe Investitionen in ihre Marken auszeichnen, in unseren Portfolios eine zentrale Rolle.

Nach den vorübergehenden Marktturbulenzen des Sommers ist nun wieder Ruhe eingekehrt. Der Abverkauf war jedoch ein guter Testlauf für unsere globalen Portfolios, die sich trotz der Ängste als widerstandsfähig erwiesen und sogar um 1% zulegen konnten, während der MSCI World ein Minus von 7% verbuchte. Mittlerweile wird ein günstiger Ausblick eingepreist, als hätte es die Panik nie gegeben. Ein Portfolio, das robuste Gewinne zu angemessenen Bewertungen bietet, könnte daher hochwertigen Schutz bieten – wie schon in diesem Sommer der Fall.

Zwar sind viele der von uns gehaltenen Unternehmen große Konzerne mit gut etablierten und bekannten Marken, aber unserer Erfahrung nach sind hervorragende Unternehmen und Anlagechancen aber auch unter Akteuren zu finden, die sich auf spezialisierte Nischen konzentrieren. Das gilt insbesondere für Anbieter, die innerhalb eines Marktes eine sehr wichtige Rolle spielen und eine enge Kundenbindung aufweisen. Wie man sich denken kann, liegen diese Unternehmen oft zu Unrecht außerhalb des Rampenlichts und können von Sell-Side-Analysten aus den Augen verloren werden.

Das sind nicht die besten Bedingungen für eine Anlagephilosophie, die sich mit den etablierten Gewinnern der Vergangenheit, deren Gewinne auch in schwierigen wirtschaftlichen Umständen stabil bleiben, auseinandersetzt. Hohe Erwartungen im Allgemeinen und zunehmend für ein bestimmtes Unternehmen machen uns jedoch nervös in Bezug auf die Marktaussichten.

Die Diskussion über aktives versus passives Investieren ist nicht neu. Es handelt sich jedoch nicht zwangsläufig um eine Entweder-oder-Entscheidung. Wir sind der Ansicht, dass ein Portfolio, das sowohl Indexanlagen als auch aktiv verwaltete Lösungen enthält, viele Vorteile bietet. Obwohl passive Fonds ein breites Spektrum abdecken und einen kostengünstigen Zugang zu taktischen Themen anbieten, besteht immer noch die Möglichkeit, selektiv zu sein– insbesondere angesichts möglicher Indexverzerrungen. Wenn sich Aktienkurse von den Fundamentaldaten abkoppeln, können Aktienexperten bei der Einzeltitelauswahl profitieren, sofern sie sich einen langfristigen Anlagehorizont erlauben können und falls ein Aufschwung, der auf einseitigen Bewertungskennzahlen basiert, noch weiteren Spielraum nach oben hat.

Stock market concentration has risen sharply over the past decade, creating a tough environment for active managers. In this report, we look at concentration over the past 75 years to see where we stand. We review which companies have been the largest and how that has changed. We ask if there is a correct level of concentration by studying other global markets and by presenting the possibility it was too low before. We then examine whether corporate performance supports the current increase.

In einem Markt, der davon besessen ist, dem nächsten großen Anlagetrend hinterherzujagen, vergewissern wir uns, dass keine Diskrepanz zwischen Unternehmensbewertungen und zugrundeliegenden Fundamentaldaten besteht. Daher bauen wir ein Portfolio mit denjenigen rar gesäten Unternehmen auf, die auf lange Sicht hohe und nachhaltige Renditen erzielen können. Denn während die Bewertungskennzahlen in diesem Quartal für 85% der Rendite verantwortlich waren, sind es über 20 Jahre lediglich 4%. Unterdessen fällt das Gewinnwachstum deutlich stärker ins Gewicht und macht bis zu 71% der Rendite über einen Zeitraum von 20 Jahren aus. Die Kapitalvermehrung erfordert Disziplin und Geduld.

Most investors “price” the stocks of companies by using valuation multiples instead of “valuing” them based on future cash flows and fundamentals. We address what multiples miss and why they have become less informative. We examine how the two most popular multiples, P/E and EV/EBITDA, can provide different signals about a stock’s relative attractiveness. We then take a deep look at EV/EBITDA. We do not discourage the use of multiples, but users should understand the underlying value drivers.

Die Kapitalvermehrung ist eine gewaltige Kraft. Aber woran erkennt man, ob ein Unternehmen ein hochwertiger Kapitalvermehrer ist? Wir konzentrieren uns auf die Rendite des eingesetzten Betriebskapitals (ROOCE) und die Bruttomargen als Kennzahlen. Unternehmen mit hohem ROOCE weisen in der Regel hohe Margen und ein Geschäftsmodell mit geringer Kapitalintensität auf, während hohe Bruttomargen gewöhnlich auf Preissetzungsmacht hindeuten. Solche Merkmale helfen uns festzustellen, welche Unternehmen es wert sind, genauer in Erwägung gezogen zu werden, und wo wir unsere Zeit verwenden sollten, die Langlebigkeit des Geschäftsmodells zu bewerten.

But we believe that generating alpha in the middle market requires a manager with specialized capabilities, a rigorous due diligence approach, and a proven playbook for creating value in the sector. Such expertise becomes even more crucial when partnering with entrepreneurs and business founders.

Nach einem Jahr, das die Vermutung nahelegte, dass niemand so genau wusste, wohin die Reise geht, starten wir nun in das neue Jahr 2024 – mit triftigen Argumenten sowohl für Optimisten als auch für Pessimisten. Und obwohl wir nicht sicher sein können, wo die Weltwirtschaft innerhalb des Spektrums zwischen sonnig und bewölkt - zwischen Optimismus und Pessimismus - letztlich landen wird, preist der Markt derzeit eindeutig ein sonniges Ergebnis ein. In Kombination mit hohen Bewertungskennzahlen schafft dies eine unvorteilhafte Asymmetrie mit begrenztem Aufwärtspotenzial und reichlich Abwärtspotenzial. Der Trick besteht wie immer darin, an den robusten langfristigen Renditen festzuhalten, wenn die Märkte ins Schwanken geraten.

The U.S. dollar has been the prominent global currency for more than 80 years, but its dominance is coming under pressure in the face of evolving geopolitical shifts and increasing twin deficits in the United States. Digital assets such as bitcoin, stablecoins in addition to the promise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), have potential to significantly alter the currency landscape. These innovations, while still in their nascent stages, hold opportunities to both erode and reinforce the dollar’s hegemony in global finance, Andrew Peel of Digital Asset Markets explains.

We study the sources of total shareholder return (TSR) and tie them to underlying economic principles. This is useful to assess the prospective returns of a stock and to create a framework for flagging value traps. The analysis reveals that few investors in the stocks of companies that pay dividends earned the TSR and refutes the common belief that dividends contribute to capital accumulation. This framework gives investors a checklist of drivers and the tools to assess them.

The life cycle captures the stages of a company’s existence, from birth to growth to maturation to decline. Knowing where a company is in its life cycle is helpful for assessing capital allocation, financing costs, governance, and valuation. In this report, we use the cash flow statement to place companies in the proper stage. We then show the average characteristics of companies in each stage, their rates of transition between stages, and the past shareholder returns of each transition cohort.

We examine the demographics of public companies and their patterns of wealth creation. We focus on the last half century in the U.S. and review the “births” and “deaths” of public companies. We also discuss changes in market composition. Nearly 60 percent of companies have failed to create value, and 2 percent have created 90 percent of the aggregate wealth. This suggests two strategies for portfolio construction: seek broad diversification or aim to own the wealth creators.

U.S. companies are increasingly paying employees with stock-based compensation (SBC) rather than cash. We begin with data showing overall trends, then turn to the accounting issues, and wrap up by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of SBC. Ongoing shareholders typically realize more dilution with young companies than with old ones because SBC tends to be more significant, and buybacks less significant, for young companies. Research is equivocal on the benefits commonly cited for SBC.

Probability and confidence are distinct concepts, and we believe it is useful for investors to separate them. For example, the price of two potential investments may present the same discount to expected value, but confidence in the probabilities for one may exceed those of the other. That nuance may be relevant for determining the appropriate weighting of securities or evaluating diversification.

This is a guide to estimating the cost of capital, a measure of both expected return and the discount rate. For example, investors discount future free cash flows at the cost of capital to come up with a present value. Our goal is to find a figure that reflects opportunity cost sensibly, is economically sound, and gives the investor and businessperson a practical solution. We recommend settling on a reasonable cost of capital and then allocating the bulk of time thinking about future cash flows.

We extend the analysis from our recent report, “Return on Invested Capital,” by adjusting ROIC for all companies to reflect intangible investment. While the median and aggregate ROIC for the adjusted figures is similar to the traditional one, the main result is that extremely high and low ROICs regress toward the mean. We believe these adjustments represent a step toward a more accurate view of the magnitude and return on investment.

Investors must look past simple measures of profits to understand a business’s true ability to create value. The rise of intangibles means more investments are expensed versus capitalized, which makes financial statements appear distorted versus those of the past. Academics distinguish between GAAP losers, companies that have losses but a high return on investment, and real losers, or those that have expenses unrelated to investment that exceed sales. Evidence from recent decades shows GAAP losers produced attractive shareholder returns relative to the real losers and profitable companies.

The goal of capital allocation is to put resources to their best use to create long-term value per share for ongoing shareholders. The first major part of capital allocation is investing in the business. The second is transacting with mispriced securities, which introduces the potential for wealth transfers between stakeholders. Astute investors appropriately focus on a management's ability to make investments in the business, but they should also pay attention to management actions with regard to buying and selling the company’s stock.

The shift from tangible to intangible investments has complicated the ability to interpret financial statements. One solution is to record intangible investments on the balance sheet and then amortize them over their useful lives. These adjustments recast profitability for some companies and are inconsequential for others. Overall, we estimate that earnings for the S&P 500 would be about 10 percent higher with these changes. This suggests great caution in comparing earnings or valuation multiples over time.

Organisms allocate energy between growth and maintenance and repair. They stop growing when maintenance requires all of the energy. Substitute capital for energy and companies appear to follow a similar trajectory. This is important because you can anticipate a company’s growth only if you understand how much capital it spends on growth versus maintenance. Most executives and investors likely underestimate maintenance spending. Steps toward better understanding include a proper assessment of maintenance capital expenditures and a separation of SG&A into investment and maintenance components.

We suggest the mantra “everything is a DCF model.” Whenever investors value a stake in a cash-generating asset, they should recognize they are using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The topic deserves attention because many market participants don’t think DCF models are relevant, and many use heuristics for value without recognizing the purpose and limitations of the shorthands. The intrinsic value, determined by the present value of future cash flows, attracts the price like a magnetic force. This means it is useful for investors to keep in mind the value drivers of a discounted cash flow model.

The shift in investments from tangible to intangible assets has important implications for how investors should think about corporate growth rates. Companies with more intangible assets can grow faster, but they can also become irrelevant and shrink faster. Our analysis of historical sales growth rates for U.S. companies reveals both of these results: higher growth and more dispersion, on average, for companies and industries with the highest intangible asset intensity. Skillful investors may be able to identify the companies that will grow faster than expected, hence providing the potential for attractive returns.

The idea of customer lifetime value has been around for decades, but we believe our discussion is richer and more nuanced than what many companies and analysts present. We discuss a framework called customer-based corporate valuation, which links customer economics to shareholder value and offers a more robust way to forecast revenues. We also show the limitations of common ratios such as customer lifetime value to customer acquisition cost (LTV/CAC), explore how companies can create consumer and supplier surplus, provide a case study, examine trade-offs in the drivers of value, and explore common errors.
