Equity Bottom-Up

<p style="text-align: justify;">As we enter the third decade of this millennium, we look back over the last ten years, draw inferences from what transpired, examine where returns were generated and try to position ourselves for the years ahead. In this process we try to address one of the most common questions on equity market valuations - “Are they not too expensive?”&nbsp; The answer to this question will help investors position their portfolios for the years ahead.&nbsp; The last ten years have been quite an extraordinary period for investors as new economic paradigms were floated, implemented and continued to dominate headlines. With the backdrop of Global Financial Conference roiling western economies, it was natural to believe at the beginning of the decade that the best place to make returns in the years ahead would be Asia. The U.S. was the last place on anybody’s mind to put their money to work. But ten years on, as we come to the close of this decade, the results could not have been farther from most prognosticators’ expectations. The best and maybe the only performing equity market over the last decade has been the U.S. stock market. We are now ending the decade with elevated levels of uncertainty - "how should we think about the future" ? In a world of low inflation and low growth, should investors worry about ability of companies to deliver top-line growth and what multiples to pay for growth ? When the next decade comes to a close, the answers will be apparent, but investors need to position for the future now. We touch on some of the issues in this write up.</p>
