  • Finn-Ancial Times Finncap Financials & Insurance Quarterly Sector Note
    finn-ancial Times finnCap Financials & Insurance quarterly sector note Q3 2020 | Issue 9 Highlights this quarter: Elevated uncertainty and volatility have been hallmarks of the last 18 months, with Brexit, the UK General Election and more recently COVID-19 all contributing to the challenges that face investors wishing to carve out solid and stable returns amid these ‘unprecedented’ times. With this is mind, and simulating finnCap’s proven Slide Rule methodology, we found the highest quality and lowest value stocks across the financials space, assessing how the make-up of these lists changed over the period January 2019 to July 2020, tracking indexed share price performance over the period as well as movements in P/E and EV/EBIT valuations. The top quartile list of Quality companies outperformed both the Value list and the FTSE All Share by rising +2.5% over the period versus -5.4% for the All Share and -14.3% for Value stocks. Furthermore, the Quality list had protection on the downside in the market crash between February and March 2020, and accelerated faster amid the market rally between late March and July 2020. From high to low (January to March), Quality moved -36.3% against the Value list at -45.5%, while a move off the lows to July was +37.4% for Quality and +34.0% for Value. There was some crossover between the Quality and Value lists, with 7 companies of the top quartile (16 companies in total) appearing in both the Quality and Value lists. This meant that a) investors could capture what we call ‘Quality at Value’ (i.e.

If a company cannot cope with change, it faces the distinct possibility of being be weeded out of the industry. Today, Japanese companies are facing dramatic environmental change. For example, the introduction of new global accounting rules is changing the behavior of equity holders. The long and deep recession following the collapse of the Japanese "bubble" economy continues to sap the economic energy of many Japanese companies, and most leaders of those companies still struggle to find new ways to exit from this dark tunnel.
