Real estate
The sector is coming out of a decadal down cycle and consolidation phase. The survivors have a strong balance sheet and capable management teams to ride the ensuing up-cycle. We prefer developers who are predominantly into residential space and are leaders in their micro markets.
Anti-‘ES’G
Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance (ESG) has gained enormous popularity over the last few years. Exorbitant amounts of money are being invested in companies from this sector despite having very low scores on some rudimentary parameters. Electric vehicles, for example, have gained admiration but thermal energy has been ignored. The irony of it is that the electricity that powers the EV is still mostly produced by burning coal.
In this Anti-‘ES’G portfolio, one factor which isn’t bypassed is G (Governance). There are several businesses being punished unfairly on ESG grounds while still being attractive businesses and scoring decently on most key parameters including corporate governance.
Travel and entertainment
Businesses that operate in this value chain shall make a strong comeback. Within this space, we prefer entertainment services like Casinos and Amusement Parks. Given how desperate people are to step out and engage in outdoor entertainment after being on house arrest for 18 mths, these businesses shall witness their best quarters ahead.
