  • Valuation Insights: Equity Risk Premium (ERP) for Indian Market
    Valuation Insights: Equity Risk Premium (ERP) for Indian Market October 2015 Authored by – Manish Saxena, assisted by Saatvik Sharma 11 1 Contents Context 3 Approach and Methodology 6 Sources and References 13 © Grant Thornton India LLP. All rights reserved. Member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd Offices in Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune Section 1 Context 1. Context 2. Approach and Methodology 3 1.1 Introduction The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is the most widely used tool in estimating the expected rate of return on a particular asset keeping in mind a rational investor’s risk-return trade-off. The theory propounds that rational investors would expect a minimum return over and above the prevailing risk- free rate in the market adjusted for a systematic risk factor called beta. This excess return is called the Equity Risk Premium (ERP) and is mathematically computed as the excess return generated by the market over and above the risk free rate. Theoretically, market return is defined as the return on a portfolio of risky assets. In practice, when using the CAPM to compute the value of an equity share in a business, the market return would be the return on the most suitable stock market. 1.2 Significance of ERP The following is a brief snapshot of how ERP impacts various investment and policy decisions: • In corporate finance, to determine the costs of equity and capital for firms, optimise debt to equity ratios, and decide upon investment, buyback policies etc. • In corporate valuation, as one of the key inputs that determine the present value of future cash flows • ERP also impacts saving decisions and the amount that needs to be put aside for retirement or healthcare as well as allocation of wealth to different asset classes.

  • Everything Is a DCF Model a Mantra for Valuing Cash-Generating Assets
    Counterpoint Global Insights Everything Is a DCF Model A Mantra for Valuing Cash-Generating Assets CONSILIENT OBSERVER | August 3, 2021 Introduction AUTHORS Matt Levine is a very talented journalist who writes the Money Stuff Michael J. Mauboussin [email protected] opinion column for Bloomberg. A trained lawyer and former banker, Levine is smart, entertaining, and informative.1 He also likes to use Dan Callahan, CFA a handful of themes to create context for his observations about [email protected] business, law, and the markets. One of his favorites is “everything is securities fraud.”2 The basic idea is that whenever something bad happens to a company causing its stock to decline, someone will accuse the management of acting nefariously. In the same vein, we want to suggest the mantra “everything is a DCF model.” The point is that whenever investors value a stake in a cash-generating asset, they should recognize that they are using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. This is important because an investor, from a venture capitalist to a manager with a portfolio of large-capitalization stocks, owns partial stakes in businesses. The value of those businesses is the present value of the cash they can distribute to their owners. This suggests a mindset that is very different from that of a speculator, who buys a stock in anticipation that it will go up without reference to its value. Investors and speculators have always coexisted in markets, and the behavior of many market participants is a blend of the two. But it is useful to keep in mind that these are separate activities.

  • The Hunt for the Relationship Between Core Competencies and Financial Market Returns: the Case of the US Apparel Sector
    The Hunt for the Relationship between Core Competencies and Financial Market Returns: The Case of the US Apparel Sector Michael B Cohen Graduate College of Management, SCU University, Tweed Heads, Australia Email: [email protected] Preferred Stream: 6. Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital Profile: PhD candidate at SCU. Previously lectured finance at the University of Cape Town and the University of the Witwatersrand, worked as an Executive Consultant at Ernst & Young (London) and managed a family owned business. 1 The Hunt for the Relationship between Core Competencies and Financial Market Returns: The Case of the US Apparel Sector ABSTRACT Core competencies are cohesive groups of intangible assets that give firms durable competitive advantages. This paper investigates if it is feasible to identify core competencies at the industry (rather than firm) level, and if it is further possible to relate the existence of core competencies to the market valuation of the equities of firms. The apparel industry in the United States is used as a test case. Keywords: Intangible asset measurement, Resource-based view of the firm. The prices of equities reflect the ability of a firm to produce a future stream of earnings. That stream of earnings is partly a function of the assets that the firm can draw upon in carrying out its activities. Assets may take many forms, some of which might be tangible, but in the modern economy more and more corporate assets are intangible in nature. Nakamura, writing about the US economy in 2001, states that: The rate of investment in intangibles, and its economic value, accelerated significantly beginning around 1980.

The Duty to Think Strategically Nadelle Grossman∗ ABSTRACT Under Delaware corporate law, directors and officers have a duty to oversee their firm’s management of risk to limit losses. Corporate law does not, however, require directors or officers to oversee their firm’s management of strategy to create gains. Yet, managing both risk and strategy is essential to a firm in creating value. In fact, as I argue in the Article, the current focus by courts and commentators only on risk management to prevent losses could actually undermine a firm’s management of its strategy for gains. I therefore propose a model for how Delaware corporate law can drive firms to manage their strategies for gains, in addition to their risk of loss, all to create value.

  • ARE BALANCE SHEETS WRONG? a Roundtable Discussion of Goodwill and Intangible Assets Edited by Bob Schmidt, Manager, Brandes Institute
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH FOR INQUISITIVE INVESTORS ARE BALANCE SHEETS WRONG? A Roundtable Discussion of Goodwill and Intangible Assets Edited by Bob Schmidt, Manager, Brandes Institute BRANDES.COM/INSTITUTE | [email protected] A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Executive Summary The rising level of goodwill and intangible assets for U.S. companies has been a topic of discussion and debate for various members of the Brandes Institute Advisory Board (BIAB) for more than two years. But what does this phenomenon mean for companies and how they are valued—especially when using book values? In this roundtable discussion, select Board members were joined by investment professionals at New York-based Donald Smith & Co. The following reflects conversations that were shared over three different sessions, as well as email exchanges and third-party research and opinions. Ultimately, we hope this roundtable accomplishes the following goals: y raises awareness of this phenomenon and potential risks y encourages investment professionals to conduct their own investigations y underscores the benefits of fundamental analysis on a company-specific basis Accounting lies at the heart of a discussion of goodwill. Escalating merger and acquisition (M&A) activity over the past several years has boosted goodwill levels. But what does that mean? Some investors tend to downplay or dismiss goodwill levels and focus on a company’s overall operations. Other investors may view goodwill with suspicion. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has changed the rules for how companies can account for goodwill. In 2014, FASB noted companies must “test” goodwill at least annually for potential impairments. (Goodwill is recorded on the balance sheet, but an impairment would show up on the income statement, making impairments more visible.
