Hays plc Annual Report and Accounts 2008 3 Directors’ Report – Business Review Chairman’s Statement Hays 2008: an excellent year Hays has achieved another strong financial performance with 24% growth in basic earnings per share* against a weakening economic backdrop. It has also been an exciting year for Hays during which Alistair Cox joined as Chief Executive following Denis Waxman’s retirement. This transition was extremely smooth and, since his appointment, Alistair has built on Denis’s legacy. He has considerably strengthened his Management Board, taken personal responsibility for the United Kingdom & Ireland business and continued the development and diversification of our International business. It has been a year of significant progress for Hays. In the United Kingdom & Ireland we are refining the way we manage the business, automating many processes, improving working practices and upgrading the technology we use. Whilst it will take time for these changes to convert into financial performance, particularly given the current market environment, these actions will considerably strengthen the business for the long-term. Meanwhile, the International business achieved outstanding growth underlining the great opportunities available to Hays worldwide and our capability to capitalise on these opportunities. Very few businesses have achieved such strong growth across so many countries in specialist recruitment. Like all recruitment businesses, we have seen a sharp fall in our share price during the year. Whilst we share the concerns about the short-term economic prospects, the Board is confident that Hays is well positioned to deal with the challenges ahead and will emerge “Our business model from any downturn a more efficient business with an increased market share. has both the flexibility in the short-term to deal Dividend Our dividend policy is designed to support a sustainable dividend across the economic cycle with more challenging whilst also delivering a progressive dividend during periods of growth.

    JOHCM UK DYNAMIC FUND UNDER THE BONNET 2019 ANNUAL REVIEW Alex Savvides, Senior Fund Manager Tom Matthews, Analyst INVESTMENT BACKGROUND Global equity markets continued to move higher in December as economic indicators showed a pick-up in global growth, there was further progress in US-China trade discussions and the UK’s Conservative party won an overall majority in the general election. The JP Morgan Global Composite PMI ticked up from the previous month’s 44-month low following a steepening in China’s composite PMI growth rate and a strengthening in US business activity. US equities had a remarkable year, capped by President Trump announcing he would sign a phase one trade deal with China in January and move to negotiations on phase two. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ 100 total return indices all reached new all-time highs in December, with gains of 32%, 25% and 40% respectively for the year. We wrote the following in August’s ‘Under the Bonnet’: “When we come to reflect on 2019, July will likely be seen as a decisive… a month in which geopolitical brinkmanship came to a head, leading government and central bank policies to be reappraised which ultimately may lead to a new market narrative.” The progress in the US-China trade deal marked a clear de-escalation in this brinkmanship globally, but starker still were the final quarter’s developments in the UK: a new withdrawal agreement negotiated with the EU and - in December alone - the Conservative Party winning an historic majority in the general election and the withdrawal agreement subsequently being passed by parliament more than 13 months after Theresa May’s cabinet first backed her deal.

  • Quarterly Commentary—Artisan Non-U.S. Small
    QUARTERLY Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Mid Growth Strategy FactCommentary Sheet As of 30 June 2020 Investment Process We seek long-term investments in high-quality businesses exposed to structural growth themes that can be acquired at sensible valuations in a contrarian fashion and are led by excellent management teams. Investing with Tailwinds We identify structural themes at the intersection of growth and change with the objective of investing in companies having meaningful exposure to these trends. Themes can be identified from both bottom-up and top-down perspectives. High-Quality Businesses We seek future leaders with attractive growth characteristics that we can own for the long term. Our fundamental analysis focuses on those companies exhibiting unique and defensible business models, high barriers to entry, proven management teams, favorable positions within their industry value chains and high or improving returns on capital. In short, we look to invest in small companies that have potential to become large. A Contrarian Approach to Valuation We seek to invest in high-quality businesses in a contrarian fashion. Mismatches between stock price and long-term business value are created by market dislocations, temporary slowdowns in individual businesses or misperceptions in the investment community. We also examine business transformation brought about by management change or restructuring. Manage Unique Risks of International Small- and Mid-Cap Equities International small- and mid-cap equities are exposed to unique investment risks that require managing. We define risk as permanent loss of capital, not share price volatility. We manage this risk by having a long-term ownership focus, understanding the direct and indirect security risks for each business, constructing the portfolio on a well-diversified basis and sizing positions according to individual risk characteristics.
