BGF US Flexible Equity Fund Key Themes
AREAS OF HIGH-CONVICTION POSITIONING
Bullish on Communication
Services
US Banks are Very Attractive
Optimistic Outlook for
Consumer Spending
• Employment, demographics, consumer confidence, and strong balance sheets all bode
well for strength in consumer spending.
• We remain bullish on housing with low interest rates and pent-up demand
• supporting the market for new construction and remodeling activity.
• Dollar Stores and Auto Parts Retailers trade at reasonable valuations and offer an
attractive combination of predictable square footage growth, market share gains, and
defensive counter-cyclical demand drivers.
• Wireless Telecom Services and High Speed Data providers that offer utility-like
products with rising consumption trends trade at historically wide discount to “bond
proxy” peers.
• Ongoing proliferation of connected devices (cars, homes, industrial machinery) offers
untapped/new revenue streams, opportunities for market share gains, and increasing
pricing power for data providers.
• Solid balance sheets, strong free-cash-flow generation and improving predictability of
earnings support valuations.
• Valuations reflect expectations for “peaking” profitability/returns, which we view
• as overly-pessimistic.
• Easing regulatory burdens, rising capital returns, steady credit trends and revamped
cost structures are likely to support higher profitability and returns in the intermediate
term.
• Banks remain unloved by the sell-side and under-owned by investors.
