  • Is Investing Based on Fundamentals Making a Return?
    Is investing based on fundamentals making a return? by Anton Tagliaferro and Phillip Gray 10 May 2021 The value investment style is showing increasing signs of emerging from a long period of hibernation. We may now be seeing a sustained return to favour for many good quality companies previously shunned amid the momentum-driven mania of recent years. It has been a long and frustrating wait, but there now appear to be clear indications that the sharemarket is increasingly beginning to value companies on the basis of their fundamentals, and we are beginning to see this play out for many of the companies in Investors Mutual’s portfolios. This is a very welcome development for the many investors who have been patient with us for a number of years as our quality-focused approach to investing has meant that the performance of our funds has lagged the market. The Australian sharemarket has in recent years been driven by a momentum theme. As share prices for certain companies were bid up, this attracted attention from other buyers, leading to behaviour predicated on the assumption that the share prices for these companies would continue to increase indefinitely – as opposed to investing on the basis of sober analysis of the long-term fundamentals underpinning the companies. The dislocation between the intrinsic value that can be assessed using fundamental analysis and the value that the market has ascribed to a number of companies has become very pronounced, and the prices for some companies became extremely difficult to justify on the basis of their fundamentals.
