EBITDAg Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 WFC-L. ~6.6% yield that might as well be a perpetuity. Will hold for a long time or sell if rates plunge in future and these go back to ~$1300+ again.
Cod Liver Oil Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Bought some SPHR at the close for Mother's Day. https://www.jambase.com/article/phish-msg-sphere-las-vegas-report They will probably make MSG and the Sphere binary stars. Bands like like Phish will eat the Sphere up. Edited May 12, 2023 by Cod Liver Oil
thowed Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Nice on $FRPH. Did I miss anything? Couldn't understand what happened today. I suppose the illiquidity means it doesn't take much.

Spekulatius Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Added just a few shares to $PAYC last week. Sort of expensive, but very well managed, imo. I also added a bit of $PNC. Edited May 15, 2023 by Spekulatius
Cod Liver Oil Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Adding to Itafos (IFOS.V). This hits the high points: https://raymondjames.bluematrix.com/links2/pdf/31bd19b9-0365-46d9-b587-2d3aba81836f It has been derisked if you can stand some exposure to DAP pricing. You guys can and should throw pies at me if this doesn't work out.
Red Lion Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Bought a little BN at $30.49 to top up my position to roughly equal weight with kkr/apo/bx/owl.

Luke Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Added to FFH and Exor. FFH now almost a 10% Position to me. Wanna see what the market does the next 3 years with the current set up...
Malmqky Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Almost bought SPHR…couldn’t bring myself to do it so just bought more MSGS instead
Cod Liver Oil Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) @Malmqky yes, SPHR makes me throw up a little bit every time I press the buy button. Can anyone opine if there a correlation between throw up and returns? Edited May 16, 2023 by Cod Liver Oil

Where is the fraud here? I can see 100% legitimate concerns with reporting as well. But this basket that I’ve mentioned trades at below the s&p multiple, has a core high roic asset management business model, undervalued on the basis of valuable asset light Fee related earnings. The basket is still raising aum at a rapid pace which is the key growth metric to watch. But a nice mix between PE/infrastructure/private credit/insurance solutions to not make a huge binary bet on interest rates. Also, BX and/or APO have a good shot at s&p inclusion. I’ve been considering increasing my allocation to the sector which is already my largest stock investment, but I think I will continue to proceed with the above basket as long as fundraising continues at attractive rates and continue to add to relatively undervalued names. APO has been outperforming in the markets but still undervalued compared to most peers. KKR still fundraising at healthy rates not withstanding obvious headwinds with the interest rate backdrop selling at cheap valuation. Cheaper than BN I suspect but most of the balance sheet in private investments. OWL growing like fire in a subsector (direct lending) that could benefit from banking dislocation, is asset light and trading at 5.5% current yield growing rapidly along with FRE which is following rapid fundraising and matching the margins of much larger competitors. BN super cheap, but mostly on SOTP with a bunch of questionable assets some of which are publicly traded with low float and high valuations. BAM/ARES great businesses with premium valuations to the rest of the sector. Ares premium seems more justified to me of the two. Having a basket does balance out the risks to some degree (going all in on CG for example) but also provides broad exposure to a high margin asset management subsector that is currently not represented whatsoever in the s&p.

That's the essence of private equity investment management. If things wrong, they are losing other peoples or their creditors money. Worst case, they are also lose their reputation, but I think most wont get there. Edited May 16, 2023 by Spekulatius
Luke Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 Sold half of my Samsung Position at a 5% loss and shifted proceeds into fairfax and left with some cash to deploy.
