I am absolutely delighted that two of our funds won Raging Bull Awards for 2020. The Anchor Global Equity Fund won Best Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA)-approved Offshore Global Equity Fund and the Anchor BCI Global Equity Feeder Fund, won Best (SA-Domiciled) Global Equity General Fund on a Risk-adjusted Basis.
I am resolutely focused on finding “multibaggers”. These are companies (and shares) with the potential to increase by multiples of their current size over the next five to 10 years. These are usually young, innovative, founder-run businesses solving important problems in huge markets and are built on the foundation of a great product; one that is typically cheaper, more convenient, and offers customers greater choice and flexibility. COVID-19 was a catalyst in exposing more people to superior products (from e-commerce to streaming) and the fund’s holdings benefited significantly from that shift. Two examples are Sea Limited and Etsy, which rose 395% and 302% respectively in 2020. Sea is a gaming and ecommerce company which operates predominantly in South East Asia, while Etsy is a US-based online marketplace for handmade and craft goods.
The inevitable question which arises is “What next?” I believe we are in the early stages of a second Cambrian explosion – of ideas, innovation, new business models, and multibaggers – driven by the democratisation of technological tools which were previously limited to the largest corporates. Today, it is possible to create a business and reach a level of scale that was previously unthinkable, at a speed that is barely conceivable. COVID-19 was not the genesis of this emerging phenomenon, but it has certainly been a critical accelerant. There is every reason to believe we are in the midst of a golden age for stock pickers.
While I attempt to understand the broad forces at play in the world, portfolio decisions are made based on bottom-up criteria. I seek to invest in companies that are drivers of change, rather than victims of it. I seek to invest in businesses that build great products and have the potential to become multibaggers. In this context, I am as optimistic as ever about the fund’s outlook.
