SEEKING THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: LINDY'S LAW & QUALITY GROWTH INVESTING
Although ageing is a fact of life for people, some quality companies have spanned decades, if not centuries, and remain in their prime — or even stronger. Comgest's Wolfgang Fickus highlights Lindy's Law, which explains why these "marathon runners" get better with age, and why they're the bedrock for the compounding benefit captured in our quality growth portfolios.
Notes from China - 2023
As soon as the Chinese government announced the end of their strict Covid-zero policy, our Comgest China Investment Team hit the road to visit local Chinese companies that have been on our Quality Growth radar.
Not All Growth Is Created Equal
With high inflation being compounded by the fastest rise in interest rates in nearly 40 years, capital markets have changed radically over the past year. Growth stocks have been particularly vulnerable as the market deteriorated. As a quality growth investor this has also hurt Comgest’s portfolios. Despite these headwinds, many of Comgest’s portfolio companies have been able to raise prices without a loss in demand or profitability, thus shielding shareholders from inflation.
