One of my favourite quotes:

10

‘Experience is the best teacher, but its lessons are not cheap. Therefore we should avoid paying for the same lesson twice. Actually, there is no need for investors to make the same mistake more than once, there being no shortage of possible new mistakes to choose from.’

 

Robert Keavney, Centric Wealth, July 2009

Sovereign Debt

Governments are powerful because they can tax their constituents. But there is a limit.

Government Debt can be reduced by:

Increasing Tax

Decreasing Spending (but some areas are limited)

Government debt will not get to 400% of GDP

• If interest cost is 5%, interest = 20% of GDP

• At 10%, interest is 40% of GDP• Taxes normally between 20 to 30% of

GDP• Governments will cut spending &

increase taxes - eventually

Projections

What are the key timeframes:

0-2 years – no projections needed. Cash and Term Deposits cover all goals in this time frame

2-8 years – not necessary to invest in this timeframe if we can have a 10 year focus which incorporates better returns

10+ years – the key goals. Again we use the Tim Farrelly Projections

The LHS Side of the Bucket. The Goals are:

Main Goal - Long-Term Total Returns – 10 Year Targets

Sub Goal – replenish the Cash

Volatile Returns are not a concern

Income is not a focus – maximising returns is the goal. A business that reinvests is not any less attractive than one that pays out all profit as a dividend.

Specific Investments within asset sectors

Australian/International Shares

We have a 10 year plus time frame so we are sharing in the profits generated by the business – ie either dividends and/or capital growth generated by higher profits

We want a good portfolio and we want it monitored and changed when needed

Best way - contract Specialist Stock-pickers

How Many Managers -ie stock-pickers?

Obtain diversification – ie different processes and different people/perspectives

Not too many that we dilute the best performers

Around 3-5 in both Australian and International Shares

Specific Investments

We, via the Specialist Stock-pickers, want :

** the best performing businesses over a 10+ year time frame

We want to buy these on the stock-market

Most stock-market participants are looking for the best 1 year performers. Their time frame may be shorter, eg 3 months,or……even intra-day!

This can be to our advantage. Avoid the noise.

Page 47: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

The three choices:

Index Funds

Choose Your Own Stocks

Contract a High-Quality Stock-Picker

Are some businesses better than others? Yes – either in a better Industry and/or having better Management.

Do some people have specialised skills and resources to be able to find and then analyse businesses? Is it worthwhile paying them to do this? Yes

Is a Stock-Picker Needed?

Page 48: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

What makes a quality stock-picker

Consider their processes

We are agreeing to buy a selected portfolio of shares and then contracting them to Manage it

We can see the underlying investments. We can address each holding and ask them why they part-own that business and what are the key factors that would lead them to sell that business

The business must have High Profit Margins or High Turnover and Reasonable Profit Margins – and this advantage must be sustainable.

Choosing a Stock-Picker

Page 49: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

What Investments do we own?

The contracted Fund Managers (Specialist Stock-pickers) build a portfolio that we indirectly own.

We want managers that have:

High Conviction portfolios (some businesses are better than others)

Low TurnOver (trading often has a goal to lower volatilty but not necessarily maximise long-term returns)

Page 50: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

The businesses that we part-own (via our specialist Fund Managers) should or must meet these criteria:

We want Good Businesses – ie those with a Durable Competitive Advantage

We want to avoid Poor Businesses - ie those where price is the major motivating factor in the consumer’s decision to buy their product or service.

The Buffett Overlay

Page 51: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

Analyse specific Investments

We can address the holdings of the Managers –

The expected profits going forward

Our comfort factor in being a part-owner

Page 52: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

The Strategy Going Forward

Review our goals

Consider Cash/Term Deposits and then the allocation to Australian and International Shares

Analyse the Managers via:

a) Their holdings

b) Their ongoing skill-set

Page 53: Investors’ Seminar June 2010. Disclaimer This is not Advice. Please see Mark before considering any changes. Mark will put any recommendations in writing

What could go wrong?

Lower Returns in LHS

Volatility

Underlying businesses (ie our investments) become long-term laggards

************

Do we need to define the risks? It is not volatility nor short-term underperformance. The key risks are those that will prevent us from achieving our goals.
