For the 2019 year as a whole the Strategy returned 39.9% which was 21.4% ahead of market’s return of 18.4%. This performance made it the Strategy’s best relative year since inception almost 12 years ago (the previous best relative year was 2013 when the Strategy outperformed the market by 19.4%) and its third best year from an absolute return point of view, behind 2009’s +90.9% and 2017’s +40.7%. The Strategy has now outperformed the market over 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years, and most importantly is ahead of the market over long (and hence meaningful in our view) time periods with outperformance of 2.8% p.a. over 10 years and 4.2% p.a. since inception 11.5 years ago. There were several stocks in 2019 that contributed more than 1% each to this outperformance and only one that detracted by 1% or more. In terms of positive contributors, Wuliangye Yibin led the way (appreciating by 161% and contributing 3.6% to performance) followed by New Oriental Education (+121%, +2.5% contribution), JD.com (+67%, +1.3% contribution), Yduqs/Estacio (+95%, +1.2% contribution), Yandex (+59%, +1.2% contribution), Adidas (+58%, +1.1% contribution) and Li Ning (+194%, +1.0% contribution). The good performance in 2019 was partly a reversal of a poor 2018 - three of the five worst performers in 2018 (JD.com, British American Tobacco and Cogna/Kroton) were all top fifteen positive contributors in 2019, but was also aided by a number of long-held positions coming through - including Yduqs/Estacio and Adidas referred to above. In addition, the likes of Airbus (+54%) and Sberbank (+59%) also contributed meaningfully. Lastly, a number of more recent (calendar 2018) buys also played a large role including Wuliangye, New Oriental and Li Ning. Of the seven largest positive contributors in 2019 we have totally sold out of one (Li Ning) as it reached our fair value, and we have materially reduced the position size of a few of them including New Oriental (2.5% position in Sep 2019 to a 1.3% position Dec 2019) and Adidas (1.4% position Sep 2019 to a 1.0% position Dec 2019).
