A partir de ahí empieza una evolución estratégica del fondo desde value investing puro a strategic value con el fin de renunciar a parte del alfa potencial a cambio de una fuerte reducción del riesgo. Esto permitió aprender en vivo, y a lo largo de una década, la lección que Buffett lleva años comentando: su transición desde pure value hacia good businesses at reasonable price.

We believe in transparency which is why we love sharing information. Our first fund, CCMFI was a 1BN USD Fund-of-Funds investing into venture capital funds. These venture funds were usually between $30MM and $150MM in size. Typically CCMFI would take a LP position of $5MM-$50MM per venture capital fund. Other facts about CCMFI:
- $250MM in commitments to venture capital funds year 1
- Fully global: U.S based venture funds made up about half of the total geography covered
- At certain times over 60% of the GP fund managers can or have been female
- CCM took a small % of ownership in smaller investments to help secure them or speed up launch

Investments, i.e. Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) financings, including growth equity, financing rounds with single secondaries components (recapitalisations); and
M&A Transactions where the sellers are VC and PE-backed European companies, including all majority transactions with no new investment going into the business (e.g. acquisitions, Management Buyouts (MBOs) and other buyouts).
Quarterly report for our investors - Third quarter 2020BESTINVER
The document is Bestinver's third quarterly report to investors. It discusses the continued economic recovery from the impacts of Covid-19, supported by major fiscal and monetary stimulus programs. It also notes the European Union's approval of a large budget and recovery fund financed by bonds, representing greater fiscal integration. The report examines factors behind recent underperformance of value investing, including the effects of low interest rates in enabling less productive "zombie" companies. Bestinver remains focused on high-quality companies purchased at attractive prices to generate long-term returns and protect against inflation and rising rates.

The secrets of how those multi billionaire become wealthy.tttan
The document discusses whether one should start investing and provides information on various investment options. It notes that inflation and price increases mean even a 10% yearly return may just break even. Fixed deposits of 3-4% are not advisable. Developing countries have shown that long-term stock speculation over 30-40 years can yield high profits, as seen from examples of companies in Malaysia and the US. Investing in China is suggested as the country's economy and companies are growing rapidly. Over-the-counter (OTC) markets are presented as a way to invest in small and medium enterprises that have potential for high returns before listing on larger stock exchanges.
Next Wave Ventures You can\'t sell your business twiceModwenna
Next Wave Partners LLP is a growth capital investor looking to invest £10 million in 2010 across 2-3 new investments. They have a strong market position investing £2-5 million in UK and European businesses. They seek quality investments where they can add value, primarily in business and consumer service sectors. Their network of family office and high-net-worth investors provides stability. They prefer investments where they have been specifically chosen and can work closely with management to drive earnings growth.
The document discusses why companies pay for research to be done on them and the value it provides investors. It notes that traditionally, research was usually written because clients wanted to know about companies, and brokerages like Goldman Sachs would distribute research to generate commissions. However, commission levels have declined significantly. The document also discusses Edison Investment Research, which is paid by companies to write research reports on them to provide forecasts and analysis to attract international investors and increase liquidity. Edison aims to broaden shareholder bases and reduce bid-ask spreads through its research.
This document provides an update on the TaxCharityTM portfolios as of January 15, 2014. It summarizes the performance of various equities portfolios over the past 13 months, including a NYSE portfolio that has gained 48.05% and a US ROTH/IRA portfolio that has gained 17.57% over 4 months. It encourages holding a diversified portfolio of at least 8 "likeable" equities that tend to hold their value and gain over cash. The document extends their proprietary information as charity to help small investors and provides portfolio lists and updates for the NYSE, US ROTH/IRA, and TSX markets.
This document provides a summary of the author's investment strategies and portfolio performance over time. It discusses the concept of "likeables" equities that trade above a benchmark risk price and tend to continue rising due to investor preference. Sample portfolios like the Solo50K and BlackSwanTrading portfolios are described, showing strong returns over multiple years despite periods of market volatility. The use of stop-loss settings is discussed as a way to potentially improve risk-adjusted returns through capital preservation.

Pavel Begun (cofundador de 3G Capital Management) es entrevistado en Value School por Carmen Pérez Baguena, analista senior de Cobas Asset Management.
Pavel y su socio conforman el equipo de análisis de 3G Capital, porque afirma que cuantos menos sean en el proceso de investigación, más pueden controlar el núcleo de decisión.
El entrevistado nos cuenta su trayectoria profesional, que empezó a los 11 años vendiendo fresas y manzanas en un mercado. Después emprendió varios proyectos, hasta llegar a Estados Unidos con 20 años, donde además de continuar con sus iniciativas empresariales se introdujo en el mundo de la inversión. Pavel asegura que simultanear ambas cosas le ha permitido mejorar en los dos campos.
También nos desvela que su filosofía principalmente se centra en buscar las 3G (Good): “buen negocio, buena gestión y buen precio”. Parece una máxima muy sencilla, pero realmente “es un trabajo muy duro y complejo”.
¿Cómo define un buen negocio? Negocios sencillos de entender, con una trayectoria registrada de sostenibilidad en liderazgo, negocios que den buenos retornos sobre el capital invertido (15-20% o superiores). Esto puede aplicarse a cualquier sector, con algunas excepciones. Por ejemplo, las prendas de moda, porque es un sector muy cambiante.
¿Cuál sería el buen precio de compra y de venta? ¿Cómo intentan minimizar el riesgo? Carmen Pérez Baguena no se deja nada en el tintero a la hora de preguntar. Al finalizar su entrevista, comienza la ronda de preguntas de los asistentes y de los conectados vía streaming.

The document discusses the impact of the UK government's Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) which outlined public spending cuts over the next four years.
The FTSE 100 index rose on the day of the CSR as global factors such as expected US quantitative easing boosted share prices, outweighing fears around slower UK growth due to cuts. However, some sectors were directly impacted by reductions in government spending. Transport companies gained from changes to bus subsidies while construction and housebuilding declined on cuts to capital spending. Defense companies also fell but global factors are expected to mitigate these declines over the long run. Investors will monitor the success of the CSR but the plan has reduced short-term uncertainty.

2) Interest rates have been rising in the US slowly since 2015, now at 2-3%, which some believe will hurt stock markets. However, Bestinver sees this as monetary policy normalizing as economies strengthen.

Covered bond issuers and investors alike have found the going surprisingly easy in the opening months of 2024. In this roundtable, representatives from the buyside and sponsor Crédit Agricole CIB examine how factors such as monetary policy, funding needs and relative value are driving the market, and what risks and opportunities may lie around the corner.
Dan Roberts manages the Fidelity Global Dividend fund, which has outperformed its peers over the past three years. Roberts attributes this success to focusing on stocks with resilient franchises, understandable business models, and certainty of earnings. Specifically, the fund's overweight allocation to the stable, high-yielding healthcare sector has helped performance. While not hedging currency risk, Roberts selects stocks based on their end market exposure rather than domicile. He remains cautious on oil stocks and emerging markets given dividend risks and rich valuations, respectively.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

5. Dear investor,
Thank you for your trust, reflected in your long-term vision. It is a privilege for us to work with a base of co-investors with
whom we share our investment philosophy and the objective of obtaining the best long-term returns. That is our most
valuable competitive advantage, given that it allows us to ensure that the resources dedicated to fundamental analysis bear
fruit through the construction of robust portfolios for our investors.
Volatility, which we have considered to be a possibility for a while, arrived during the first half of 2018. And it really left its
mark on the equity markets, where on 5th
and 8th
February, the S&P index recorded its largest daily decreases for 5 years, as
well as on the fixed income markets, where a fresh political storm in Italy caused 10-year bonds to lose 10% of their value in
May alone.
Without going into the technical details, it is important to note that over the last few weeks, we have seen not only
volatility, but also a lack of liquidity in the market, in particular, in fixed income. And that is something worth reflecting on. It
is true that nervousness is often a source of opportunity, but the lack of liquidity is a very serious issue.
We have seen how assets regarded as safe, such as the debt of one of Europe’s major powers, can lead to sharp falls in the
portfolios of investors in just a few sessions. Almost in the blink of an eye. The market has shown that fixed income does not
always protect investors, as many people think, and that it is no longer possible to obtain returns without risk, like it used to be.
The headlines don’t seem to be helping much either: threats of trade wars, tension in emerging markets, political uncertainty
in Europe…
In the face of so many events, at Bestinver, we remain firm in our process. We continue to dedicate all of our time to the
fundamental analysis of companies, to better understanding their businesses, their strengths and their weaknesses, by
studying their accounts, their results, their balance sheets and by holding hundreds of meetings and conversations each year
with their directors and competitors.
We put all of our effort into completing our shopping list. If we know which businesses we want to buy and at what
prices, then volatility is no longer a risk, rather, it is an opportunity to build robust portfolios for the long term. Risk is the
permanent loss of capital and is not related to fluctuations in prices. We take advantage of those movements to invest in
good businesses at low prices.
Taking advantage of opportunities on our shopping list
In this context, at Bestinver, we are finding good investment opportunities, buying strong businesses at prices that
offer great potential for growth. In some cases, and although it sounds paradoxical in these hectic times, we are finding
companies that seem boring at first glance, but which have exciting stories behind them.
For example, do you know Wolfgang Leitner? Maybe you’ve never heard of him, after all, he’s not very popular or very
eccentric. What about his father, who was a factory worker at the Industriall company Andritz when Wolfgang was young?
After starting his career, Wolfgang started working at Andritz as a consultant and, gradually, he was promoted through the
ranks. Ultimately, he was appointed as the CEO of the company more than 20 years ago.
Having spent more than half of his 65 years of life at Andritz, a firm in which Wolfgang now owns almost 30% of the share
capital, he has managed to turn it into one of the leaders of the sector. In part, thanks to very wise purchases of other
companies. The most recent of which was completed just a few weeks ago.
Andritz is an example of a company controlled by a family, where decisions are taken with a 20- or 30-year timeframe
in mind. It has a net cash surplus on the balance sheet and a very strong record of appropriate capital use. We have been
following the firm and analysing it for some time now. The only ‘problem’ was that it was not trading at prices that we
regarded as attractive to achieve adequate returns with a high margin of safety. But that changed in June, when the share
price fell to €42 and we had the opportunity to acquire a stake.
6. Another attractive stock that we have invested in during the second quarter is the Dutch dredging company Boskalis. Again,
the company operates in a niche business, and is currently in the low point of the cycle, which makes it very appealing. The
firm is well managed and has been on our shopping list for a while now, whilst we waited for the right time to invest, and
an opportunity presented itself in the last few weeks.
Leading businesses…that invest to be even better in the future
At Bestinver, we don’t focus only on companies with more traditional business models, such as the Industriall stocks
described above, we also look for value where we can buy assets at prices that are well below their value.
For example, this quarter, thanks to our profound knowledge of the media sector through our analyst Vighnesh Padiachy, we
took advantage of a window of opportunity that saw the stock market debut of the Chinese firm IQiyi. The so-called ‘Netflix’ of
the East, which in reality is probably more a combination of Netflix and Disney, made its debut with a valuation that, according
to our analysis, offered significant growth potential. And we were not alone in spotting the opportunity; the offer was enormously
oversubscribed. In other words, investors requested to buy several times more shares than actually IPO-ed on the market.
The firm made its stock market debut on Holy Thursday and its first movements caused concern: the price of the shares fell
rapidly from the €18 at which they had been placed to €15. But the subsequent reaction was stunning and, within a few months,
the shares that we had been able to purchase had more than doubled in value with respect to their placement price. In fact, the
progress has been so rapid that we have now sold all of the position, generating a very attractive return of 100% for our portfolios.
By default, we do not necessarily rule out investing in companies that are losing money. It is important to analyse the
reasons in detail, understand the business well and see why the losses are happening. For example, there are some internet-
based businesses for which being the market leader is the absolute key, and so they make major investments to maintain
their positions. Companies such as Amazon and Netflix spring to mind.
Of course, the key is being able to distinguish the companies that ‘burn money’ for the wrong reasons from those that are
building their future leadership positions. And here, again, a profound knowledge of each company, each business, each
trend, is critical, which is what you have at your disposal through the investment team at Bestinver.
European banking: an investment that has been highly profitable
Over the last quarter, we have substantially reduced our position in European banks, in what has been a profitable trade for our
co-investors. Specifically, the gains have exceeded €350 million since the summer of 2016 when we started to take positions in
the sector, in light of the profound mismatch in valuations that we saw at that time, greater almost than those of 2008.
In recent weeks, we have started to reduce our exposure to those entities, in light of the greater normalisation that we
perceive in the market. In addition, the crisis in Italy has taken hold, which has meant demanding greater margins of safety,
which has led us to reconsider our investment in stocks such as Intesa.
Very positive performance of the largest positions in the portfolio
In the Iberian portfolio, it has been a very good quarter for our main position in the portfolio, the paper manufacturer
Semapa. The Portuguese company has experienced a significant increase in value, which has led it to new highs, but we still
see value in the fundamentals of the company.
The paper market is currently in the low point of the cycle, capacity has decreased considerably in recent years and the
company has announced price rises of between 7% and 8% in its paper division, which operates under the brand Navigator.
That will have a very significant impact on the growth in profits, and so the valuation is still very attractive.
Prepared for the opportunities that will arise
At the end of the quarter, we have accumulated high levels of liquidity in the portfolio, which will allow us to take advantage
of the good purchase prices that are starting to be offered by several of the companies on our shopping list. For the first
7. time in a long time, these opportunities are not being caused by episodes of panic or shocks in share prices, but rather as
part of the dynamics of a market that is tending to normalise.
The commitment from our investors to long-term investment and Bestinver’s own commitment to dedicate our time and
effort to finding the best opportunities for investment through fundamental analysis, to adequately managing risk and to
building robust portfolios, constitute the formula to follow in the search for the best possible returns.

Additions to the portfolio
Boskalis Westminster
A company with a family structure, controlled by a Dutch family (36%), which offers dredging services (accounting
for 55% of its sales), infrastructure services (construction and maintenance of ports, recovery of land, coastal
defences,…), services for offshore energy and towing and rescue services. The company is going through a difficult
time in the cycle, and we believe that it has reached the minimum point in terms of profits and margins. We think
that Boskalis may have a tricky 2018 but will then be able to benefit from growth opportunities in the segments of
dredging and offshore energy services. The company has a solid balance sheet, with no debt, and generates a stable
cash flow, which has allowed it to maintain a dividend of 3%. The greatest risk that we face is the length of time
that the company will take to recover, but given that the firm has barely any net debt, we believe that to be an
acceptable risk.
Valmet
Valmet is a service provider company for the pulp and paper industry, as well as for power generation plants for
the production of bioenergy. The company was established in January 2014 when the pulp, paper and energy
business of Metso Corporation, which specialises in the mining and construction sectors, was carved out to
create Valmet Corporation. The return for shareholders since Valmet was created amounts to almost 27%, and
that has been achieved by closing the margin differential with respect to its main competitor, Andritz, which
also features in our portfolio. With the price of pulp at historical highs, we expect to see an acceleration in
orders from the industry in 2018 and 2019, which will help expand margins further still. Valmet, together with
Andritz, will have lots of opportunities to benefit from this increase in orders given the duopolistic nature of
the industry where both participants have an attractive shareholder structure and cash on the balance sheet,
which will allow them to continue to make profitable long-term decisions.
Increases in positions
Arjo
Arjo is a global supplier of medical and hospital equipment, specialising in hospital beds and equipment designed for
lifting and moving patients. The company has recently been carved out from its parent company, Getingue, and a new
management team has been appointed, tasked with expanding margins. Arjo has an important therapeutic services
division, a business of a recurring nature, with high margins and little competitive pressure, which we think is very
attractive. Since the company started trading in December 2017, Carl Bennet, its largest shareholder has increased his
stake to buy more than 5% of the company with an investment of more than €40M. We first invested in Arjo at a very
attractive price and we decided to increase the position since we think that the market is not recognising the credibility
of the company’s performance improvement plan.

Increases in positions
Andritz
Andritz is an Industriall conglomerate that operates in the segments of equipment for the production of paper and pulp,
turbines for hydroelectric generation and presses for printing. We often identify businesses that we like, but the valuation
is not attractive at that time. In such cases, we add the name to our shopping list and we wait for the market to provide us
with an opportunity to invest. That is what happened in the case of Andritz. We have liked the company for a long time - it
is a family company, with a net cash surplus on its balance sheet and a good management team. Nevertheless, the price
was not sufficiently attractive when we identified it, and we have been waiting for the market to provide us with a good
entry opportunity. Following the announcement of worse than expected sales figures, the share price corrected itself in
our favour. The company’s main clients in the paper pulp business have historically high profitability levels and very low
leverage ratios, which suggests that the outlook for new orders is good. Andritz has a great chance of obtaining a share of
those new orders given that it operates in a duopolistic business together with Valmet, another company that we recently
incorporated into the portfolio. Following the correction, the share price offered an attractive margin of safety that we
have taken advantage of to significantly increase the position. Thanks to our long-term time horizon, we can now patiently
wait for these orders to materialise without the need to worry about which quarter the new orders are placed in.
Cobham
Cobham is a leading company in the aerospace and defence sector in the United Kingdom with a monopoly in several niche
businesses in the sector, such as, for example, inflight refuelling. Cobham is an example of a poorly managed firm that has
ended up on the right path. Cobham’s previous management team was too focused on growing the company, at any cost
–it pursued growth strategies through quick acquisitions without integrations. It carried out this growth through acquisition
approach with a high level of indebtedness, which put the company in a comprising financial position, and forced it to
issue five profit warnings in 18 months. The previous management team resigned and the new team is focused on a new
restructuring and growth plan for the company. The prospects for the company are much better and the balance sheet is much
more solid, having significantly reduced the debt, the firm is now generating cash. We knew that the restructuring process
would take at least 3 years, but sometimes the market is not willing to wait that long. The company is on the right path,
simplifying its structure and implementing its plan. The share price offers a great margin of safety if we look at the potential of
the business once the restructuring plan bears fruit.
Reductions in positions
TGS Nopec
TGS is a Norwegian company that conducts geo-seismic studies for the oil and gas industry. We invested in the company
at the beginning of 2016 when it was trading at historical lows, due to the recession that hit the raw material sector in
2014. The company is more focused on the exploration costs area, which is the most volatile component of all of the
costs in the oil and gas production chain. Therefore, the seismic industry suffered a lot during that correction, due to a
decrease in its capacity utilisation, combined with balance sheets that were highly indebted. Nevertheless, we consider
that TGS is in a unique position given that it does not own the boats that it uses to conduct the seismic studies, rather
it rents them, which means that it does not have any debt (in 2016, cash represented 10% of its market capitalisation).
Moreover, it has been a pioneer in the development and patenting of a “multi-client” business model, to provide
information and analysis in a cheaper way than the traditional method of obtaining seismic data on an exclusive basis.
When TGS was trading a minimum levels, we saw that the industry was not recognising those features that made it
unique, and therefore, they were not reflected in the valuation. This investment has achieved a return of 60% and given
that the margin of safety has been reduced, we have decreased our position in the company.

Portfolio analysis
Reductions in positions
Hapag-Lloyd
We decided to reduce the position in the shipping company in light of the strong performance of the stock during
the year and to take advantage of likely purchasing activity by Vapores, its main shareholder. We reduced our position
before the company announced a profit warning at the end of June, but we do still hold a position in the company.
The profit warning was the result of lower expectations for 2018 resulting from a higher than expected cost of petrol,
as well as lower than expected freight tariffs for the second half of the year. The company believes that freight tariffs
will recover during the second half of 2018, but uncertainty remains over whether that will be sufficient to offset the
increase in oil costs. Moreover, the market is continuing to balance, decreasing the supply and creating a healthier
balance for industry. Hapag Lloyd is still well positioned and we believe that the market tends to extrapolate the most
recent results.
Informa
Informa is one of our largest positions in the portfolio, and is one of the companies that has contributed the most to
performance this quarter. The purchase in June of UBM, one of its main competitors, was very well received by the
market, causing the company’s share price to close at historical highs. That allowed us to pocket some of the gains.
Over the three years that we have held this position in the portfolio, the company has generated a return of more than
60%. We still maintain a significant position in the company, given that we still believe in the company’s capacity to
generate value – the synergies that the market is expecting as a result of its latest operation amount to GBP 60 million,
but we estimate that figure to be closer to €100 million. Following this operation, Informa has become a very attractive
company for many investors.
Exits from the portfolio
Intesa Sanpaolo y Unicredit
This quarter, we have significantly reduced the international portfolio’s exposure to banks, given that, although we
still have a positive view of the financial sector, we wanted to rotate the portfolios to hold onto those positions in
which we have particular conviction over the long term, such as the case of Standard Charter and ING. The increase
in our exposure to the financial sector was substantial in the summer of 2016, when we faced a mismatch in the
valuations of the banks with respect to their historical average, and we decided to build a considerable, although
not dominant, position in the sector. From that position, we have obtained great gains, but we consider that now is
the time to be more selective. Moreover, in light of the increase in the political risk in Italy, and following the strong
performance of the companies, the margin of safety has narrowed, allowing us to make a good exit.

MAIN MOVEMENTS IN THE PORTFOLIO
Additions to the portfolio
TECNICAS REUNIDAS
We added Técnicas Reunidas to the portfolio during the second quarter. The Spanish company specialises in
engineering and design, and the construction of infrastructure for the refinery, petrochemical and energy generation
sector. Most of its clients, which are vertically integrated in extraction and production, have major investment plans to
integrate the sales component into their production chains and capture more value add. Nevertheless, the fall in crude
oil prices has placed the investment budgets of these clients under pressure, penalising TR’s income. In this context, the
company has seen two order cancelations in 2017, which have significantly affected its margin, and it is faced with the
impossibility of diluting fixed costs. With the recovery in oil prices, we think that the investment plans in the industry
will be reactivated and we believe that this will be very positive for Técnicas Reunidas. Moreover, competitive pressure
is expected to decrease due to a higher level of activity in the sector and improvements in payment terms, all of which
will contribute positively to the company’s cash generation capability. In addition, new regulations in the maritime
sector intended to reduce the emissions of vessels from 2020 onwards are going to require major investments to
upgrade existing refineries. Técnicas Reunidas has a great reputation in the sector as the leader in its business niches,
with a flexible and minimal capital-intensive business model. We think that at this price, it offers a very attractive
potential.
Increases in positions
VISCOFAN
We decided to increase our position in the company after learning about its new investment plan in the fibrous and
cellulose segments. We believe that the company is better prepared today to continue with its sustainable profitable
growth project in the artificial wrapping sector.
JERONIMO MARTINS
We increased our position in the Portuguese food distribution company, the market leader in the wholesale and retail
segments. JM’s share price suffered a fall as a result of losses in Colombia. Nevertheless, we saw this correction as
an opportunity to increase our position given that we believe that the business is well managed and generates good
returns on capital and that it still has an attractive valuation with normalised earnings.
Reductions in positions
SIEMENS GAMESA RENEWABLE ENERGY
We decided to decrease our position in Siemens Gamesa following the strong performance of the company. We used
to hold a significant position in the Iberian portfolio and we have collected some of the gains, but we are holding onto
some of our exposure since we still have confidence in the performance of the stock.
