Description:
CIAF uses a "value arbitrage" methodology. Present and plausible future metrics are estimated and compared. It is strictly "long only". If one wants to be "market neutral" he has to care about the short side for himself. Selling criteria is reached if a position gets to the top end of the industry typical value metrics corridor. Some special situations are held longer until the underlying equity story unfolds. A "Thematic Network" concept is employed. Right now it's "Oil & Gas", "Natural Resources", "Rule Breaking Telecoms", "Generic Pharmas" and occasional techstocks. This is a microeconomic approach. In addition, special situations (recapitalization, spin-outs, etc. are pursued) If an industry gets out of favour fundamentally, it's de-emphasized and the folio reshuffled. Some typical and important value metrics: Oil & Gas ... Value metrics are flowing barrel production, EV/R, EV/EBITDA and P2/P3 potential (expected upside), PV-10 ratio to EV Natural Resources ... Similar metrics to Oil & Gas, PV-10 ratio to EV ... both industries will thrive on an improving economy, as can be witnessed by the underlying prices of the respective commodities Techstocks, Generic Pharmas ... EV/R, Revenue growth, EBITDA growth, Gross Margin ... Techstocks are ultry-cheap at the moment and there will be a time when they could provide the necessary input on economic productivity to jumpstart economic growth in a multitude of vertical markets. Maybe 2-3 years away. Rule Breaking Telecoms ... Those doing somtehing unusual like FTTH, non-reliance on incumbent, creative deals etc. (EV/R, EV/EBITDA, top line growth, debt/equity) ... NGN/FTTH wireline carriers (KTC, CTEL, VZ) and fiber-based CLECs that survived have a great asset base to attack their competition often not reflected in the valuation (EV/R, Gross Margin, EBITDA Margin) of these companies. Unlike their competition, the top line of these firms is solidly growing, often in excess of 10% a year Down the road some sub-segments of the financials might get interesting again (Asset management, Insurance, Business development companies BDC's, Intl. Banks) I cannot predict the market, rather try to find much undervalued niches in interesting industries. This "value" and "growth at a reasonable price" approach has performed nicely during the techstock crash and the impasse last year, including the ensuing fall-out period in the aftermath of both shocks. My own macro view (not that much important for the portfolio) is that we might get a surprise in the curing of the conditions, last year's liquidity crisis has produced. Personally, I often compare the "financial crisis of 2008/2009" with the Asian Financial Crisis more than 10 years ago. While the events triggering the economic shocks were certainly different, the kind of shock (a "liquidity shock") in both cases was very similar. The more flexible countries (South Korea, Taiwan, China) came out of the AFC within 18 months and emerged stronger. We might be surprised in how smooth the US economy, along with some others, could be adjusting to a post-fallout trajectory today.
