As the global macro-economic environment continues to improve, the case for real estate investing has become more compelling. After a period of moderation and stabilization in 2024, we believe that 2025 will see a transition into the next upcycle for real estate. Inflation is trending down, interest rates are falling, and valuations are troughing.

Tras disiparse las distorsiones causadas por la pandemia COVID-19, el sector sanitario ha obtenido rentabilidades muy por debajo del conjunto del mercado. Sin embargo, se encuentra bien posicionado en dos de los parámetros de calidad preferidos por el equipo, el ROOCE y los márgenes brutos, y registra el segundo mayor crecimiento de sus BPA de entre todos los sectores del índice MSCI World en los últimos 20 años. Esta sólida perspectiva a largo plazo se ve reforzada por el rápido envejecimiento de la población mundial, las oportunidades no aprovechadas de los mercados globales, la naturaleza no discrecional de su demanda y el amplio potencial de innovación tecnológica.

Consumo estable se sitúa actualmente cerca de mínimos de 25 años en términos de valoración relativa y su ponderación en el índice MSCI World es la más baja en lo que va de siglo. No obstante, el sector ha mostrado resiliencia a pesar de que los últimos cuatro años han sido extraordinariamente turbulentos. Dado que el crecimiento está impulsado por los ingresos recurrentes de los productos de uso cotidiano que venden, su resiliencia operativa en períodos de contracción económica hace que las compañías de consumo estable ágiles, innovadoras y que invierten sustancialmente en sus marcas tengan una función clave en nuestras carteras.

El mercado parece dominado por la doble creencia en la invulnerabilidad de la economía estadounidense y el ingente impacto de la IA generativa. Este no es el entorno más fácil para una filosofía de inversión que busca “winners” establecidos con unos beneficios resilientes en épocas difíciles. Sin embargo, las altas expectativas, en general, y cada vez más altas en el caso de una compañía en concreto, nos inquietan acerca de las perspectivas para el mercado. El equipo se mantiene firme en su proceso de calidad y su atención se centra en el 'compounding' absoluto a largo plazo.

Historically, the trough in European listed real estate NAV discounts has preceded the trough in values and NAVs by around six to nine months. We think this time is no different, and that now we’re at—or very close to—trough NAV for the sector.

Small emerging and frontier market countries have weathered crises this decade, but are implementing reforms based on orthodox economic policies. Despite massive currency depreciations, the equity markets in many of these countries, such as Argentina and Pakistan, have generated stronger earnings per share—in dollar terms—compared to the broader MSCI EM Index. Steven Quattry explains why these countries merit a closer look.

Aunque la controversia entre la inversión activa y la inversión pasiva resulta ser un eterno debate, lo cierto es, que no tiene necesariamente que tratarse de una decisión exclusiva de uno u otro. El equipo considera que existen argumentos muy sólidos para que en las carteras cohabiten tanto la inversión en índices como la gestión activa. Si bien los fondos pasivos ofrecen una exposición amplia y un acceso ágil y barato a temáticas tácticas, mostrar un enfoque selectivo sigue ofreciendo una oportunidad, especialmente, en vista de los sesgos de los índices. Cuando los precios de las acciones se desvinculan de los fundamentales, los especialistas en selección de acciones pueden aprovechar la situación, siempre y cuando cuenten con el lujo de tener un horizonte temporal más largo y una evolución alcista asimétrica basada en múltiplos siga teniendo 'momentum'.

The market is pricing in rate cuts for the U.S., as global central banks move to ease policy. But are investors getting ahead of themselves? The Federal Reserve remains cautious, and hard data suggests rate-cut delays – not cuts. Will markets reassess their views? Will the Fed change tact? And will rate uncertainty affect opportunities within global fixed income?

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.

En un mercado obsesionado con buscar el próximo gran acontecimiento, nos aseguramos de que las valoraciones de las compañías parezcan justificadas según los fundamentales subyacentes, confeccionando una cartera con empresas poco habituales capaces de revalorizarse con un retorno elevado y sostenible a largo plazo. Dado que los múltiplos han supuesto el 85% de las rentabilidades este trimestre, un periodo de 20 años supone un 4%. Mientras tanto, el crecimiento de las ganancias pesa mucho más: hasta el 71% en 20 años. El "compounding" exige disciplina y paciencia.

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.

El 'compounding' es un factor de gran potencia, pero ¿qué nos dice si una compañía puede ser un 'compounder' de alta calidad? Nos centramos en el retorno sobre el capital operativo empleado (ROOCE) y los márgenes brutos. Las compañías con un ROOCE elevado suelen contar con márgenes elevados y operaciones con un uso ligero de activos, mientras que unos márgenes brutos altos suelen ser reflejo de capacidad de fijar precios. Estos atributos nos indican qué compañías merecen la pena analizar más de cerca y a que casos debemos dedicar nuestro tiempo evaluando la durabilidad del franquiciado.

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.

Si bien no podemos tener certeza sobre cuál será la situación de la economía mundial, si positiva o negativa, el mercado claramente descuenta un desenlace positivo. En combinación con unos múltiplos altos, esta situación crea una asimetría desfavorable con un potencial alcista limitado y un potencial a la baja sustancial. El truco, como siempre, es aferrarse a unas buenas rentabilidades absolutas a largo plazo cuando los mercados sufren un revés.

Andrew Peel, Digital Asset Markets
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.

En el mundo de M&A, no todas las empresas que compran a otras son iguales. El equipo International Equity es cauteloso en cuanto a las fusiones y las adquisiciones, pues se trata de una elección que suele entrañar un riesgo alto para la asignación de capital de una compañía. Sin embargo, hay compañías —nosotros invertimos en algunas de ellas— que cuentan con un historial de adquisiciones de riesgo relativamente bajo que contribuyen significativamente a la rentabilidad para los accionistas. Las buenas compradoras son una especie rara, pero existen características comunes para sus estrategias que sugieren que se trata de un proceso repetible.

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.

Accounting has not kept pace with the changing economics of businesses, which has created a huge gap between what companies report in their financial statements and what an investor needs to understand a business. To better categorize activities, we suggest making adjustments within the statement of cash flows pertaining to stock-based compensation, leases, and intangible investments. We believe these adjustments substantially improve the description of a business. We share a case study of Amazon for 2020 to make the concepts more concrete.

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.

This report focuses on the customer as the basic unit of analysis in understanding value. 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.
