Why Switzerland? Why Switzerland? Marwan Naja, AS Investment Management January, 2010 I. Executive Summary Swiss Equities Have Outperformed: Here is a fact you probably did not know: The Swiss equity market has arguably been the best performing developed world market over the past 20, 10, 5 and 2 years. The SPI Index, which incorporates over 200 Swiss stocks, is the best performing index in Swiss Franc (“CHF”), US Dollars (“USD”), Euro (“EUR”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) over the past 20 years1,10 years, 5 years, and 2 years when compared to similar broad-based total return indices in the United States (S&P 500 Total Return), the United Kingdom (FTSE 350 Total Return), Germany (CDAX), France (SBF 120 Total Return) and Japan (TOPIX Total Return)2. For most of these periods the magnitude of the outperformance is significant. Furthermore, the Swiss market has exhibited attractive risk characteristics including lower volatility than comparable markets. Figure 1: SPI 20 Year Performance (red) Compared to Major Developed Indices in CHF3 1 The 20 year comparable excludes the EUR which has not existed for that duration and the French SBF 120 TR which was established in 1990 and has underperformed the SPI over the 19 year period. 2 The Swiss market is the best performer in our local currency comparison (stripping out the foreign exchange effects) over 20 years and marginally trails the FTSE 350 for the 10 year, 5 year and 2 year comparisons. 3 Source of all graphs is Bloomberg unless otherwise indicated.

AS Investment Management Over the past two decades most Swiss investors eagerly looked outside their country to diversify away from local equities while the Swiss market continued to be one of the most resilient markets in the world. In fact, for most Swiss investors staying local would have likely generated very good results, lower volatility, less lockups and less side-pockets. Figure 2: Volatility since 2000 for Select Indices (SPI – Red, SMI – Black) Swiss Franc Attractive: One cannot consider Swiss equities without having a perspective on the underlying currency. The Swiss Franc has also been a solid long term performer. The purpose of the CHF currency analysis in this paper does not support any short or medium term trading conclusions. Rather it indicates that there is fundamental long term support for this currency. At a time when the US and Europe are facing dramatic budget deficits, monetary easing, regulatory ambiguity and fiscal stress, the Swiss Franc may not be a bad place to be. Figure 3: USD-CHF Exchange Rate since 1971 with Moving Averages (5, 10, 20 years) www.as-im.com Page 3 Why Switzerland? AS Investment Management Switzerland has a significant and consistent structural current account surplus. For 2009, the current account surplus is expected to represent roughly 6% of GDP according to the IMF which also forecasts that this level will gradually climb back up to 10% by 2014. Both the IMF and the Petersen Institute models have accurately predicted the gradual appreciation in the CHF over the past decades. There is nothing to indicate that this structural CA surplus is under threat. Looking at other models like the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) models, the CHF often appears to be overvalued. However, these models have been erroneously expecting a devaluation of the Swiss Franc for decades. The CHF has indeed been strengthening. Swiss Environment & Stability: Swiss companies compete internationally, but operate out of a stable and business-friendly environment. Investors considering investing in the Swiss equity markets also need to satisfy themselves that this environment is stable and sustainable. Here are some key indicators to illustrate this stability: Unemployment is currently at 4.1%4, higher, as a result of the current economic crisis, than the ten year average of 3.0%5, but well below levels in Europe and the US. Switzerland has a manageable public debt level. With a GDP of approximate CHF 542 billion6 in 2008, Switzerland has approximately CHF 225 billion7 gross public debt (about 41%). The Swiss National Bank boasts approximately USD 86 billion in foreign reserves and approximately USD 33 billion in gold reserves8. There has been a government budget surplus for almost a decade. Including the cantons, the level was at CHF 5.6 billion9, or about 1% of GDP in 2008. Inflation has consistently been low at an average of 1% over the past decade. On major socio-economic factors such as education, investment in R&D, crime rates and literacy, among others, Switzerland constantly ranks very highly in the developed world. Switzerland has witnessed a long period of political stability. The last armed conflict was in 1847, when a one month civil war between Catholics and Protestants resulted in approximately 100 casualties.

  • Gauging Your Investments with Performance Benchmarks
    Gauging Your Investments with Performance Benchmarks One way to evaluate your investments objectively is to use industry-standard performance benchmarks. A benchmark is a market index or average that allows you to compare the performance of your stocks, bonds, or mutual funds against similar investments. Here are some of the most well-known and widely used investment benchmarks: Stock Benchmarks Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The oldest and most widely quoted market indicator. It reflects the price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks, mostly industrials, that generally represent 15% to 20% of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) total market value. (In a price- weighted index, higher priced stocks carry more weight than lower priced issues.) The mix of individual stocks changes occasionally. Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). A market value-weighted index that reflects changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks compared to the base period of 19411943. The S&P 500 consists mainly of New York Stock Exchange industrials, although it also includes transportation, utility, and financial stocks traded on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), as well as over-the-counter (OTC). National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) Composite Index. A broader measure of market activity than the DJIA or the S&P 500, this market value-weighted index tracks the prices of all securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market. The NASDAQ specializes in emerging companies, such as technology, telecommunications, and even electronic commerce. Market values are computed by multiplying the most recent sale price of the stock with the total number of outstanding shares.

  • Case Study: the Bayer-Monsanto Acquisition Deal
    Case Study: The Bayer-Monsanto Acquisition Deal Student: Georgios Ritsos-Kokkinis (SNR:2013707, ANR:927674) Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Christoph Schneider Second reader: Prof. Dr. Olivier de Jonghe Tilburg, August 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Christoph Schneider, Assistant Professor at Tilburg University – Department of Finance, whose expertise and guidance were invaluable in soundly formulating all the relevant methodologies, and concisely structuring the output results. Your feedback pushed me to sharpen my thinking and brought my work to a higher level. I would also like to thank fellow scholar Thanos Vasiliadis, PhD candidate in Mathematics at Université côté d'Azur, Laboratoire Dieudonné, for his support, encouragement and constructive comments, which were instrumental to the completion of this dissertation. ABSTRACT The acquisition of Bayer-Monsanto was one of the largest M&A deals of the past decade. In this study, I document the motives of this transaction and the timeline of events that took place, from the initial rumors until Bayer’s milestone settlement of Monsanto’s “Roundup” litigation in mid-2020. Fundamental valuations of the two individual companies and their officially disclosed synergies reveal that the premium paid over Monsanto’s overvalued share price was not justified, as is commonly observed in the M&A ecosystem. Multiple approaches to the calculation of the discount factor reach the same conclusion. Averaging across multiple costs of capital, shows that the combined intrinsic value with synergy of roughly $177bn was some $2.12bn higher than the sum of parts, suggesting a rather profitable investment opportunity. However, Bayer, did overpay by 18.08% to reap these benefits.

  • A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices
    A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices he measurement of the “average” price of common stocks is a matter of widespread interest. Investors want to know how “the Tmarket” is doing, and to be able to compare their returns with a meaningful benchmark. Money managers often have their compensation tied to performance, typically measured by comparing their results to a benchmark portfolio, so they and their clients are interested in the benchmark portfolio’s returns. And policymakers want to judge the potential for sudden adjustments in stock prices when differences from “fundamental value” emerge. The most widely quoted stock price index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has been supplemented by other popular indices that are constructed in a different way and pose fewer problems as a measure of stock prices. At present, a number of stock price indices are reported by the few companies that we will consider in this paper. Each of these indices is intended to be a benchmark portfolio for a different segment of the universe of common stocks. This paper discusses some of the issues in constructing and interpreting stock price indices. It focuses on the most widely used indices: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Stan- dard & Poor’s 500, the Russell 2000, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Wilshire 5000. The first section of this study addresses issues of construction and interpretation of stock price indices. The second section compares the movements of the five indices in the last two decades and investigates the Peter Fortune relationship between the returns on the reported indices and the return on “the market.” Our results suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow 30) The author is a Senior Economist and has inherent problems in its construction.
