As
2018 draws to a close it is easy to forget that Emerging Markets were outperforming their developed counterparts only last year. This has now largely
been reversed and brings us back to where we were in 2016 in relative terms. The MSCI Emerging market index remains at least 30% cheaper than the S&P
on most measures.

Taiwan remains one of our favourite markets. It enjoys the lowest cost of capital in the emerging market universe and has a large number of companies
with net cash on the balance sheet. Many of these stocks pay dividend yields in excess of 5.0% and are often majority controlled by their management.

From Matt Linsey and the North of South Capital team
Investors
we meet are often preoccupied with their exposure to style factors. The largest dichotomy seems to exist between the growth and value investment style.
We at North of South Capital subscribe to the view that value investing works over time and allows an active manager to outperform the market. Our
investment process is built around this premise.

From Matt Linsey and the North of South Capital team
We
have written a number of times in the past regarding our investment process which has a clear focus on value. Our definition of value is relative and
we believe that measuring value only in an absolute sense is dangerous. A low price earnings ratio or high dividend yield in isolation provides only
a partial indication of a company’s worth. Stocks are a very long duration instrument – the typical analyst forecast period of 2-3 years usually only
accounts for less than 10% of the value of the business. Therefore, it is imperative to have a robust process in determining the cost of capital which
is used to discount and value the future cash flows.
