To mark the launch of the Quality-Growth Investor Conference we have launched Quality-Growth Quarterly. We also publish Value Investor Digest which started in 2011 and is now in its 55th issue.<\/p>

In the fourth issue of QGQ we feature a Goldman Sachs study which looks at how inflation and government bond yields have behaved in the aftermath of the world\u2019s 12 largest wars and pandemics. Also included is an Outstanding Investors Online interview with Shuhei Abe from SPARX, a JP Morgan 2021 market outlook report, a Money Maze podcast with Sir Chris Hohn, a Ted Seides article on the secrets of interviewing asset managers, plus another interesting GS report on what happened to pent-up savings in the US after World War II; as well as 16 more interesting articles, reports, interviews and videos from Q1 2021.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“We find that, while inflation has typically risen sharply during and (especially) in the aftermath of major wars, it has generally remained weak during and after major pandemics…in wars, government spending is used to fund increased war-related expenditure (before and during wars) and reconstruction efforts (in the aftermath), placing significant strain on available resources. In pandemics, by contrast, any increase in government spending is used to fill the gap left by absent private sector demand, with very different implications for the overall balance between aggregate demand and supply.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThe Hazmat Recovery. In response to the worst pandemic in 50 years and a country at war with itself over lockdowns, individual freedoms and election results, the Fed and Congress airdropped an unprecedented amount of stimulus with vaccine airdrops to follow. That should be enough for markets to rise again in 2021 as pent-up activity is unleashed, and since the bill for stimulus is shifted to future generations. Whether this solves any of the other issues is a different story. Our 2021 Outlook reviews these topics along with deep dives on China, Europe, Emerging Markets, tech antitrust issues, gold and the rapidly shrinking portfolio choices for yield-oriented investors.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“Sitting in-between managers and clients as the co-CIO of a fund of funds, I was stunned how frequently interviews took place with no prior preparation.\u00a0Time in front of managers is limited. Wasting that time drawing out easily accessible information that could have been learned in advance is highly inefficient. Great interactions come from preparing to blend structure and flow in the conversation.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cOur general view is that the interplay of global digitalization, interconnection, and demographics is a powerful deflationary force, so we are not overly concerned by the risk of high inflation…At the extreme end, some market strategists foresee a period of stagflation in the 2020s, similar to what we saw from about 1969 to 1982. That wasn\u2019t a great time for equities in general, but our research suggests that the winners from that period included businesses with pricing power and market leadership, and businesses with those characteristics tend to outperform, regardless of market environment.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Now more than ever, it is time to focus on keeping the lights on, rather than attempting to shoot them out, and reasonably priced compounders seem a reasonable way of avoiding a plunge into darkness.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“The great myth is that the stock market crash caused the Great Depression. This is part of every schoolkid\u2019s learning in social studies, but financial historians don\u2019t think the evidence is very strong for that. The crash occurred in late October and early November of 1929. If you go from Black Thursday to Good Friday 1930, which was in the middle of April, the stock market was back up to just about the same level [as before]. People ignore the fact that the stock market had a strong recovery after the crash because it\u2019s inconvenient for the story…Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz\u2019s book A Monetary History of the United States, 1867\u20131960 pointed out there was no connection between the 1929 Wall Street crash and the Great Depression. The Great Depression really began when the banks started failing in 1930, and then there were more bank failures in 1931 and 1932, leading to a bank holiday when FDR became president in \u201933.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cOne of the reservations we have expressed about Greensill (and supply chain finance in general) is that the practice helps companies disguise their true cash generation capacity and levels of working capital from investors and lenders…US GAAP is slightly better than IFRS in this respect, as certain disclosures are required but it\u2019s beyond comprehension that the accounting authorities are expending massive effort on nonsense like IFRS 16 (blog upcoming) when simple and obvious issues like the disclosure of the use of supply chain finance is not required. Companies can factor or sell forward their receivables or engage in reverse factoring of payables and make no mention of it in their accounts \u2013 this seems crazy. In the US, the cash generated from the sale of receivables is generally disclosed separately as a cash flow from financing. Elsewhere, this is (inaccurately) treated as an element of operating cash flow, and as it\u2019s not disclosed, investors have no clue as to its significance.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“In 1957, a researcher at MIT named David Durand published an article called ‘Growth Stocks and the Petersburg Paradox.’ Durand observed that many high growth companies exhibit exceptionally high payoffs, similar to the St. Petersburg Paradox. A small minority of them will be the equivalent of getting 40 heads in a row in our game. Given this paradoxical condition, you\u2019d expect market participants to misprice this optionality at times and pay too much for growth. It was a mystery how to properly value companies with such extreme right-tail outcomes in 1957. Little has been resolved.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“When KitKat arrived in Japan in the 1970s, it was sold as an exotic ‘British’ treat to consumers who were developing a taste for foreign travel. Adverts in Japan showed ‘British people in distinctly British environments enjoying a KitKat break between action-packed activities,’ explained Philip Sugai, a business school professor in Japan, in a case study. ‘The message revolved around how Japanese people could enjoy life within the British context.'”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“With the internet economy shifting away from advertising and towards ecommerce and payments, Benedict Evans, a tech industry analyst, described Stripe\u2019s opportunity another way: ‘They are a 3 per cent tax on the future of the internet.’ One of Stripe\u2019s key competitive advantages is doing more with less. It has about 3,000 staff, a third less than Facebook had in 2012 when it went public at a similar valuation. Its online tools are designed to be easy for businesses to adopt without needing a large sales force or support team.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Backed by this vast training set, Super Resolution can intelligently enlarge photos while maintaining clean edges and preserving important details.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
