US markets continued the monetary liquidity fueled run to ever sillier valuation levels, while non-US lagged relatively. The majority of our holdings were positive in the quarter. The Fund’s exposure to China and Hong Kong (including Netherlands-listed Prosus, whose business is driven by the Chinese consumer) was the biggest geographic headwind. FX was a moderate contributor to the Fund, as well as the MSCI EAFE index. Despite relative underperformance, it was a solid period for value per share growth at our holdings. “Value” had a (we believe temporary) pullback vs. “growth” in the second quarter on the back of lower interest rates and various other factors. Over the last year, we have seen interest rate consensus go from “low rates forever” for most of 2020 to “rates are definitely going up” in February/March of 2021 to what now feels like magical goldilocks thinking for growth stocks in the 1-2% US 10-year range.

  • Sovereign Wealth Funds As Sustainability Instruments? Disclosure of Sustainability Criteria in Worldwide Comparison
    sustainability Article Sovereign Wealth Funds as Sustainability Instruments? Disclosure of Sustainability Criteria in Worldwide Comparison Stefan Wurster * and Steffen Johannes Schlosser TUM School of Governance, Technical University Munich, 80333 Munich, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) are state-owned investment vehicles intended to pursue national objectives. Their nature as long-term investors combined with their political mandate could make SWFs an instrument suited to promote sustainability. As an essential precondition, it is important for SWFs to commit to sustainability criteria as part of an overarching strategy. In the article, we present the sustainability disclosure index (SDI), an original new dataset for a selection of over 50 SWFs to investigate whether SWFs disclose sustainability criteria covering environmental, social, economic, and governance aspects into their mandate. In addition to an empirical measurement of the disclosure rate, we conduct multiple regressions to analyze what factors help to explain the variance between SWFs. We see that a majority of SWFs disclose at least some of the sustainability criteria. However, until today, only a small minority address a broad selection as a possible basis for a comprehensive sustainability strategy. While a high-state capacity and a young population in a country as well as a commitment to the international Santiago Principles are positively associated with a higher disclosure rate, we find no evidence for strong effects of the economic development level, the resource abundance, and the degree of democratization of a country or of the specific size and structure of a fund. Identifying favorable conditions for a higher commitment of SWFs could Citation: Wurster, S.; Schlosser, S.J.

  • GP Investments
    1 GP Investments Earnings Release Fourth Quarter 2020 Earnings Release 2Q18 2 2020 highlights March 31, 2021 – This release reports the 4Q20 and full-year results of GP Investments, Ltd. (‘GP’) [B3: GPIV33], a leader in private equity and alternative investments. 2020 was a challenging year worldwide; and for GP Investments this was no different. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the companies in GP’s portfolio that have physical premises had to close facilities or operate under restrictions. Brick-and-mortar stores had to be closed, restaurants had to depend mostly on delivery and take-out, and many businesses had to be reinvented fast. In March, GP moved 100% of its team members, across all its offices, to remote working, following procedures in its Business Continuity Plan. The transition to a work-at-home model was seamless, with no interruptions in our activities, and we have continued to leverage multiple digital technologies to enable our teamwork. The results reported by GP Investments in 2020 reflected the volatility of the financial markets, and the economic impacts of the pandemic. In the 4th quarter of 2020, GP posted net income of USD 33.8 million, which was driven by increases in the share prices of our listed companies – primarily Centauro – as well as the positive impact of the temporary BRL appreciation. Nevertheless, for the full year, mark-to-market adjustments in the companies in the portfolio have translated into significant net unrealized losses, which together with the rapid devaluation of the Brazilian Real have led to a total net loss of USD (91.8) million in 2020.
