Capital at risk
Flexible growth
Growth comes in different forms: firms focusing on disruption, predictable steady compounders and capital allocators. Our flexible growth portfolios offer exposure to all three.
What are flexible growth’s characteristics?
The market tends to value growth categories differently. Disruptors capture opportunity and market share. Their revenues grow rapidly, but their outcomes can be broad. Steady compounders have strong defensible franchises and competitive advantages. This leads to above-average earnings growth over long periods. Capital allocators rely heavily on management’s skill in deploying capital into cyclical opportunities. Combining all three helps reduce volatility while letting us pursue our best ideas.
How do we invest in flexible equity growth?
For each type of growth, we focus on different measures. Sales growth and margin progression for rapid growers. Franchise strength and profitability for steady compounders. And management quality and consistency with long-term business execution for capital allocators.
Flexible equity growth portfolios typically hold 60 to 100 stocks. Turnover is low, typically less than 20 per cent per annum.
