Investment Quality – Focus on value in your portfolio

The financial and entrepreneurial qualitity is indicated below. Here, we present the aggregated assessment for all individual stocks in your portfolio. In this thorough test, we analyse key financial and operational success factors considering all aspects of financial analysis metrics.

Value preservation and long-term capital accumulation in your portfolio are our top priorities. We only invest in assets that meet the requirements of our Future-Test. Ensuring the future fitness of assets leads to an optimized return at a minimal risk exposure.

Our asset selection aims at buying top quality assets at a fair value. This so called value investing approach is also pursued by Warren Buffet among others.

Globalance has expanded the criteria of this asset selection strategy to meet our own requirements. This was necessary because we live in a world characterized by increasing complexity, fast changes and diverse challenges. Along with quality and price, we pay particular attention to the impact of assets, products and services on the economy, society and the environment. Impact is a determining factor for an investment’s future acceptance and ability to persist in a changed environment.

Quantitative criteria

Attractive profit margins

58%

Attractive profit margins

Successful companies create products or services that are sufficiently popular and useful to their customers to allow for a steady expansion of profit margins. Did the company report attractive margins (Profit in relation to turnover) over the past five years? Are they above the sector average? Was the company able to defend its margins over the years?
Low risk

88%

Low risk

When evaluating a company’s profitability, the risks associated with the business must be considered. A popular term for risk from theoretical finance is the volatility of the stock market price of an asset. The higher the volatility, the higher the risk associated with the stock. That is why we are searching for assets with stable price developments without major short-term deviations. This allows us to construct portfolios that have a lower risk exposure than the market average (so called beta). This in turn results in a lower probability of losses during a stock market dip.
High continuity

48%

High continuity

We invest with a long-term vision. A continuous improvement of profitability is therefore a key property we are looking for in an asset. We evaluate the development over the past 5 years. Rising profits over the years are a strong indicator for a company’s ability to implement its strategy successfully. This in turn increases the probability of a positive return of the investments in the years to come.
High capital efficiency

68%

High capital efficiency

We are looking for companies that utilize their capital efficiently. High profits with little capital employed indicate a company that conducts business efficiently. Since the capital requirements are different between different sectors (e.g. automobile manufacturing vs. Software development) a comparison of the relevant measures within a specific industry is important.
Low debt equity ratios

54%

Low debt equity ratios

We prefer companies with a high equity ratio. Capital efficiency is not indicative of the balance sheet structure of a company. The amount of external debt owed by a company must remain within reasonable bounds in order to make risks of increasing interest rates and date-fixed payment obligations manageable. If this is not the case, entrepreneurial freedom for acquisitions is limited.

Qualitative criteria

Quality of Management

74%

Quality of Management

We favour companies with convincing strategies, competent and long-term-oriented management, transparency, as well as high quality principles on corporate governance.
Attractive growth potential

62%

Attractive growth potential

Here we consider whether a company shows promising growth opportunities in its current business segments. Ideally, a company operates in an established line of business which offers the opportunity for further growth through continuous investment and innovation.
Clear competitive advantages

90%

Clear competitive advantages

Is the company an industry leader? Does it own a brand that is associated with quality, usefulness and credibility which leads to strong customer relations and pricing power?
Stable business model

72%

Stable business model

We prefer companies that produce goods and services for everyday use that are easy to manufacture. We do not invest in turnaround companies and do not engage in «betting» on technologies that are not yet verified to work.
Positive Footprint

65%

Positive Footprint

The positive impact on the economy, society and the environment of a company’s activities is a key component of the Globalance Future-Test®.
