  • Quarterly Commentary—Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Mid Growth Strategy
    QUARTERLY Artisan Non-U.S. Small-Mid Growth Strategy FactCommentary Sheet As of 30 June 2019 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.

  • Topline Version Gender Balance on the Boards and Executive
    Topline version Gender balance on the boards and executive management of the Danish C25 companies Date: March 2021 Not for circulation - IP of Leadership Advisor Group Background In 2008 the Danish Committee of Corporate Governance recommended that listed companies establish a diversity policy. In 2011 the Committee strengthened the guidelines by recommending that the diversity policy should include concrete goals. The guidelines have been revised several times since then, but still include the clear principle that diversity (including age, gender, educational and commercial background, among other possible areas) is critical for companies. Companies should seek to have relevant diversity not only on the leadership and executive management teams, but also on the boards of directors. The board, with its responsibility to safeguard the company's and stakeholders' interests and ensure short- and long-term value creation, is responsible not only for ensuring and publishing details on its own relevantly diverse board composition (section 3.1.1), but also for discussing on an annual basis what actions the company is taking to ensure relevant diversity at the different management levels (section 3.1.2). The recommendations suggest the company adopts a diversity policy which should be included in the management commentary and/or on the company's website, and that this policy should focus on issues that strengthen management's qualifications and competencies and support the company's future development. In its policy, the company may (should) explain how it actively works on increasing diversity, including the gender distribution at the different management levels in the company. 2021 2 Purpose of this report Our aim is to generate, for the first time in history, an overview of how well the Danish C25 companies are complying with the recommendations to publish a diversity policy as well as to publish and achieve gender targets for the board and executive management*.

Juni 2021 Forecasting of Danish stocks prices using artificial neural networks A study comparing forecasts from artificial neural networks with forecasts from autoregressive moving average models. Autors: Andreas Borup Jørgensen, Mette Koch Møller Robert Høstrup Supervisor: Hamid Reza [email protected] Thesis Period: Spring semester 2021 Page numbers excluding/including appendix and bibliography: 77 / 94 Andreas Borup Jørgensen Date [email protected] Mette Koch Møller Date [email protected] Robert Høstrup Date [email protected] Aalborg University Business School Aalborg University Denmark June 4, 2021 Abstract Economists describe the stock market as an efficient market so that there is no way to forecast its future prices. Rapid development in computational power has led to machine learning techniques with stronger predictive power becoming more prominent. The scope of this thesis is to examine artificial neural networks’ ability to forecast the Danish stock market. A total of six Danish stocks are forecasted using daily one-step-ahead forecasting. The time period used for this purpose is the year between 2010 and 2019, where the first eight years is used for training and testing, while the last is used for forecasting. Different architectures are tested, including FNN, RNN, LSTM, GRU, bi- LSTM, and bi-GRU. Each architecture is tested both with and without the inclusion of extra explanatory variables. In order to evaluate the models’ forecasts, ARIMA and ARIMAX are used as baseline models.
