I beni di consumo primari sono ai minimi degli ultimi 25 anni in termini di valutazione relativa e il loro peso all’interno dell’indice MSCI World è il più basso dall’inizio del secolo. Il settore ha tuttavia evidenziato una certa resilienza nonostante un quadriennio eccezionalmente turbolento. Le società di questo settore hanno una crescita trainata dai ricavi ricorrenti generati dai prodotti che vendono ogni giorno e sono capaci di resistere durante le fasi di ribasso economico. Di conseguenza, le società che mostrano agilità, capacità di innovazione ed elevati livelli di investimento nei propri marchi, rivestono un ruolo fondamentale all’interno dei nostri portafogli.

Dopo la turbolenza estiva, nei mercati è tornata la calma, ma la flessione ha rappresentato un buon banco di prova per i nostri portafogli globali, che si sono dimostrati resilienti nonostante i timori, crescendo addirittura dell’1%, mentre l’MSCI World è sceso del 7%. Ora che viene nuovamente scontata una prospettiva ottimistica, come se i timori non si fossero mai presentati, un portafoglio che genera utili resilienti a valutazioni ragionevoli può costituire uno strumento di difesa di alta qualità, come è accaduto quest’estate.

Sebbene gran parte delle società partecipate siano aziende di grandi dimensioni con marchi consolidati e conosciuti, la nostra esperienza ci insegna che è possibile trovare anche ottime aziende e opportunità d’investimento prendendo in considerazione operatori che si concentrano su nicchie specializzate, in particolare quelli che svolgono un ruolo cruciale nell'ambito di un determinato mercato e che vantano stretti rapporti con i clienti. Queste aziende, ingiustamente, ma non sorprendentemente, spesso non attirano l'attenzione del mercato e possono essere ignorate dagli analisti sell-side.

Il mercato sembra essere dominato da una duplice convinzione: l’invulnerabilità dell’economia statunitense e l’impatto massiccio dell’intelligenza artificiale generativa. Questo non è certo il contesto più facile per una filosofia d’investimento che punta a individuare vincitori affermati capaci di generare utili resilienti in tempi difficili. Tuttavia, aspettative generalmente elevate, e in maniera sempre più accentuata per una società in particolare, ci spingono a rimanere cauti nei confronti delle prospettive di mercato. Rimaniamo fedeli al nostro processo di qualità e ci concentriamo sul compounding assoluto e a lungo termine.

Gestione attiva o passiva? Questo annoso interrogativo è mal posto. Un’opzione non per forza esclude l’altra. Riteniamo anzi che una coesistenza in portafoglio di investimenti indicizzati e investimenti a gestione attiva sia assolutamente proficua. I fondi passivi offrono non solo un’esposizione ad ampio spettro e la possibilità di accedere agilmente e in modo conveniente a temi tattici, ma anche l’opportunità di operare in modo selettivo, soprattutto se si considerano gli orientamenti degli indici. Quando i prezzi delle azioni si disconnettono dai fondamentali, gli stock picker più abili possono approfittarne, se hanno la fortuna di disporre di un orizzonte temporale più lungo e di poter contare sulla prosecuzione di un rialzo trainato dai multipli.

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?

La Federal Reserve rimane prudente e i dati reali suggeriscono un rinvio dei tagli. I mercati rivedranno i loro giudizi? La Fed cambierà registro? E l’incertezza dei tassi inciderà sulle opportunità offerte dall’obbligazionario globale?

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 un mercato ossessionato dalla ricerca della "next big thing", ci assicuriamo che le valutazioni delle società siano giustificate dai fondamentali sottostanti, costruendo un portafoglio di quelle rare società in grado di moltiplicare gli utili con un rendimento elevato e sostenibile nel lungo periodo, poiché sebbene i multipli abbiano contribuito per l’85% ai rendimenti questo trimestre, su un arco di 20 anni questa percentuale scende al 4%. Nel frattempo, la crescita degli utili conta molto di più: nell'arco di 20 anni ha contribuito per il 71%. Il compounding richiede disciplina e pazienza.

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.

Il compounding è una forza vincente, ma cosa ci fa capire se un’azienda può essere una compounder di alta qualità? Ci concentriamo sulla redditività del capitale operativo impiegato (ROOCE) e sui margini lordi. Le aziende con un ROOCE elevato presentano generalmente un’operatività con margini elevati e ridotto impiego di risorse, mentre i margini lordi elevati rispecchiano solitamente il potere di determinazione dei prezzi. Questi attributi ci fanno capire quali aziende meritano di essere esaminate più attentamente e in quali dovremmo investire il nostro tempo per comprendere la longevità della loro attività.

Dopo un anno apparentemente trascorso all’insegna del “nessuno sa niente”, iniziamo il 2024 con buone argomentazioni in favore sia della tesi ottimista sia di quella pessimista. E anche se non ci è dato di sapere con certezza se l’economia mondiale chiuderà su una nota triste o allegra, il mercato sta chiaramente scontando il prezzo di una nota allegra. Dati i multipli elevati, ciò crea un’asimmetria sfavorevole con margini di rialzo limitati, da un lato, e ampi margini di ribasso, dall’altro. Quando i mercati accusano un colpo, il trucco, come sempre, consiste nel tenersi aggrappati ai solidi rendimenti assoluti a lungo termine.

In queste prime battute del 2024, il contesto di investimento è assai diverso da quello che si presentava all’inizio dell’anno scorso. L'inflazione sembra aver raggiunto il picco, i tassi d'interesse sembrano destinati a scendere e i portafogli bilanciati possono tornare a funzionare come previsto. A sostegno del Portfolio Solutions Group, il Capital Markets Group rivela i nostri sette temi chiave per il 2024.

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.

Gli agonisti del GLP-1 sono stati decretati gli innovatori nel trattamento dell’obesità e i produttori di questi farmaci gli immediati vincitori del mercato, mentre i titoli statunitensi dei settori medtech e alimentari/bevande, i vinti. Il team International Equity ritiene che gli impatti nel medio e lungo termine di questi sviluppi saranno probabilmente minimi e si mantiene ottimista sul loro effetto complessivo nei portafogli.

In qualità di investitori di lungo periodo, vogliamo che i piani retributivi delle società in portafoglio promuovano una visione a più lungo termine anziché l’opportunismo di breve termine. Privilegiamo i piani di incentivazione che allineano gli obiettivi agli interessi degli azionisti e che sono articolati su obiettivi ragionati e disciplinati, basati sulla performance. Prendiamo molto sul serio il processo retributivo, come dimostrano il nostro sistema di punteggio proprietario Pay X-Ray e i nostri principi consolidati, frutto di 20 anni di colloqui con le società sulla retribuzione dei dirigenti.

A fronte di rendimenti obbligazionari prossimi al 5%, del PIL statunitense a quota 4,9% nel terzo trimestre e dell’aumento della volatilità, abbiamo ridotto sia il rischio che il sottopeso di duration. Riteniamo che la Fed stia perdendo la pazienza e che il rischio di un altro rialzo dei tassi sia maggiore di quanto scontato nelle attuali valutazioni.

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.

Nel mondo delle fusioni e acquisizioni, non tutti gli acquirenti sono uguali. Il team International Equity osserva un atteggiamento prudente nei confronti delle fusioni e acquisizioni che, in genere, rappresentano una scelta ad alto rischio per quanto riguarda l’allocazione di capitale di una società. Ma ci sono società – alcune delle quali presenti in portafoglio – con un track record di acquisizioni a rischio relativamente basso che hanno contribuito in misura molto positiva ai rendimenti per gli azionisti. I buoni acquirenti sono una specie rara, ma le loro strategie presentano caratteristiche comuni tali da far pensare che si tratti di un processo ripetibile.

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.

Continuous process improvement is essential to achieving outstanding long-term outcomes. Receiving timely and accurate feedback—information used as a basis for improvement—can enhance the process and make you a better forecaster. We discuss multiple facets of process improvement, including getting the right people and helping them thrive, the role of organizational structure in fostering good decision making, and specific mechanisms to sharpen execution. We draw on principles from other fields but focus primarily on the investment management industry.

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.

Sustainability Research at Counterpoint Global has produced a method to systematically measure the potential cost of carbon emissions as well as the financial impact of a carbon tax. Our framework allows us to translate these costs into estimates of stock returns. We believe that measuring the cost of carbon emissions allows us to better understand the environmental risks for the companies in our portfolio as well as for those we do not own. We also seek to help our clients benefit from the many opportunities that a low-emissions world could create.

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.
