Cashflow Solution: review of 2023 and outlook for 2024

In this video, James Inglis-Jones and Samantha Gleave explain how the performance of investment styles were volatile in 2023, with both quality growth and value stocks contributing to the strong performance of the process. James and Samantha explain that equity markets look healthy for 2024 as they are trending upwards, valuations in the US and Europe are not concerning and corporate aggression is low. They also discuss their optimism about momentum generating returns across quality growth and value stocks in 2024.

Funds managed by the team

The fund managers believe stock prices are frequently mis-priced as they tend to reflect the often-unreliable forecasts of future profitability made by company managers.

Our investment process

The fund managers focus on the historic cash flows generated and invested by companies to support their forecast profits growth. As forecasts are often unreliable, the scale of cash invested to support forecasts is key.

The fund managers seek to own companies that generate significantly more cash than they need to sustain their planned growth yet are lowly valued by investors on that measure and are run by managers committed to an intelligent use of capital.

To identify companies’ annual cash flow, balance sheet development and valuation efficiently across all equity markets the fund managers have developed a simple screen as a starting point for further qualitative analysis. The investment screen consists of two cash flow ratios that are combined equally to highlight the process characteristics that they seek.

The two cash flow measures are:

  • Cash flow relative to operating assets
  • Cash flow relative to market value
