Download or read book Capital Returns written by Edward Chancellor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an age of serial asset bubbles and spectacular busts. Economists, policymakers, central bankers and most people in the financial world have been blindsided by these busts, while investors have lost trillions. Economists argue that bubbles can only be spotted after they burst and that market moves are unpredictable. Yet Marathon Asset Management, a London-based investment firm managing over $50 billion of assets has developed a relatively simple method for identifying and potentially avoiding them: follow the money, or rather the trail of investment. Bubbles whether they affect a whole economy or merely a single industry, tend to attract a splurge of capital spending. Excessive investment drives down returns and leads inexorably to a bust. This was the case with both the technology bubble at the turn of the century and the US housing bubble which followed shortly after. More recently, vast sums have been invested in mining and energy. From an investor's perspective, the trick is to avoid investing in sectors, or markets, where investment spending is unduly elevated and competition is fierce, and to put one's money to work where capital expenditure is depressed, competitive conditions are more favourable and, as a result, prospective investment returns are higher. This capital cycle strategy encourages investors to eschew the simple 'growth' and 'value' dichotomy and identify firms that can deliver superior returns either because capital has been taken out of an industry, or because the business has strong barriers to entry (what Warren Buffett refers to as a 'moat'). Some of Marathon's most successful investments have come from obscure, sometimes niche operations whose businesses are protected from the destructive forces of the capital cycle. Capital Returns is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practical implementation of the capital cycle approach to investment. Edited and with an introduction by Edward Chancellor, the book brings together 60 of the most insightful reports written between 2002 and 2014 by Marathon portfolio managers. Capital Returns provides key insights into the capital cycle strategy, all supported with real life examples from global brewers to the semiconductor industry - showing how this approach can be usefully applied to different industry conditions and how, prior to 2008, it helped protect assets from financial catastrophe. This book will be a welcome reference for serious investors who looking to maximise portfolio returns over the long run.

Book excerpt: The first book to show individual investors how to move from "active" to "passive" index funds and play a winner's gameThroughout the last fifteen years of the bull market, individual investors were able to participate and amass financial holdings by way of mutual funds. But the constant buying and selling to "beat the market" and grow their fund's wealth also entailed costs and capital gains. And who paid for it? The investor. Over the past 20 years smart investors began switching to index mutual funds to keep more of their money. Index funds buy and hold all of the stocks in an index, dramatically reducing trading costs and taxes. And now, with Larry Swedroe's expert advice, the small investor can take advantage of this investment strategy and win big.In The Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You'll Ever Need, Larry Swedroe explains: -- How index mutual funds out-earn older investment strategies-- How to pick the right balanced "passive" portfolio that will reward investors with the highest expected return for the amount of risk the investor is willing to accept-- How to play the winner's game with this big and rapidly growing investor trend.Based on over forty years of research by the world's leading financial economists, the advice Larry Swedroe offers in this new and valuable book shows that those willing to move beyond conventional wisdom will open themselves to a method of great financial growth.-- The Only Guide to a W

Download or read book Passion for Reality written by Michael R. Yogg and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Cabot (1898–1994) was an innovative mutual fund manager and executive known for his strong character, charismatic personality, and trendsetting achievements. Iconoclastic and rebellious, Cabot broke free from the Boston Brahmin trustee mold to pursue new ways of investing and serving investment clients. Having spent nearly two decades working for Cabot’s company as an analyst, research director, portfolio manager, and chief investment officer, Michael Yogg is well positioned to share the secrets behind Cabot’s extraordinary success. Cabot oversaw the birth of the mutual fund industry in the 1920s and lobbied on behalf of key New Deal securities legislation in the 1930s. As Harvard University Treasurer, he increased endowment allocations to equities, just in time for the bull market of the 1950s, and as a corporate director in the 1960s, campaigned against conglomerates’ abusive takeover strategies. Cabot pioneered the use of fundamental stock analysis and its progressive practice of interviewing company management. His accomplishments all stemmed from his passion for finance, imaginative thinking, and unbreakable will, facets Yogg is able to illuminate through elite access to Cabot’s papers and a wealth of interviews.

Download or read book Deviate To Win Insights From A Turnaround Investor written by Jason Ader and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the good fortune to be mentored by financial industry visionaries Ron Baron and Alan Greenberg, Jason learned to think outside the box and challenge conventional wisdom early in his career. Companies can fall out of favor with the investment herd and see their share price plunge, not because of diminished inherent value but because of programmed trading volatility and a lack of accurate, reliable information. In some instances, poor performance is due to misdirected or disengaged leadership. These situations often present investment opportunities for seasoned turnaround investors like Jason Ader. One of the key principles of Jason's unique investment perspective is that "the crowd is usually wrong." When industry analysts reach a consensus view about a stock, he often reaches the opposite conclusion. Jason's approach is not that of what is typically referred to as an activist investor--hostile, flamboyant and boisterous--but rather that of a corporate collaborator, a sympathetic advocate for uncovering value, enhancing performance, and achieving a higher stock price for shareholders. Jason's history of successful turnaround investments spans a variety of industries and includes Las Vegas Sands Corp., Bwin Interactive Entertainment, The Stars Group Inc., International Game Technology, Papa John's Pizza, First Bank of Nevada, Adelie Foods Group, and others. In his book, Jason explains his unconventional analysis that uncovers underperforming companies with underlying value, and the solutions that helped return them to profitability and restore shareholder value.
