Posted at 10/9/2023 07:16 by evoque92 Lesson Two: You're almost always wrong before you are rightFor Laurence Hulse, who manages UK smaller companies' specialist Onward Opportunities, an internship at Barclays Capital when he was 18 brought a lesson he has lived by all his life. 'You're almost always wrong before you are right. This was one of the first 'lessons' I was ever taught,' Hulse says. During his time at Barclays under revered equity trader Howard Spooner, Hulse learned that because you do not usually time the market perfectly, your investment is likely to fall at first. 'Other than in the unlikely event when you buy at the very lowest price or sell at the very highest price to the penny, you have got to be prepared to be wrong initially,' Hulse says. He adds that when you buy a share and it falls to start with or sell a share only to see the price rise, you 'look and feel wrong' even though you may well have made the right call in the long term. As a result of this lesson, he has learned not to make sudden swerves in his trading. 'We very rarely trade into or out of a company in one transaction, as to do so would be to assume you have timed things perfectly.' |
Posted at 16/7/2023 10:07 by darrin1471 ONWD's first core position is in ANG. I also started buying ANG a month before ONWDONWD's first Factsheet Q2 2023 "With Angling Direct, we believe we have found an outstanding value opportunity hiding in plain sight; an attractive asymmetric risk profile underpinned by a net cash balance (£14m), that is c.65% of the market cap (c.£22m). The company represents either a growth or value investment, depending on various strategic decisions in the coming months. The business has a dominant market position in the UK, where it is profitable and cash generative from a repeat customer base of anglers, where market share can be grown further. These metrics are targeted to improve under new management supported by a UK consumer recovery. More recently, the business has been attempting to enter the much larger European market to provide additional earnings growth. Success has been limited so far, with annual losses that are material in the context of overall group profits, albeit in difficult conditions, whereas the UK business generates an EBITDA that is about double the current group number (which includes European losses) even in the recent tough trading conditions of 2022. Upside comes from when the European strategy starts to bear fruit in the near term and contribute profitable growth to the group, or from when it can be wound down to remove the losses from group profits and opportunity cost, and we would be left with a value investment in a leading UK retailer trading on less than 2x EV/EBITDA. We estimate a 6-month payback on a closure of the European strategy. Either of these outcomes would add more than 50% to EBITDA and this optionality is in the context of our entry valuation on Angling Direct of c.£20m, of which c.£14m is net cash and there is a further c.£16m of stock. ONWD shareholders, who have backed our active and engaged approach, can expect us to be working hard to drive one of these two profitable outcomes on our investment. We have noted with interest the consolidation of angling retailers in the USA and Nordic countries in recent years." |

Posted at 06/4/2023 15:50 by hedgehog 100 30/03/2023 07:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Onward Opportunities Limited Admission to AIM and First Day of Dealings LSE:ONWD Onward Opportunities Limited"... Investing policy The Company will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities of UK smaller companies that are predominantly listed or admitted to trading on markets operated by the London Stock Exchange, and where it is considered that there is a material potential valuation upside that can be delivered from catalysing strategic, operational or management initiatives In order to ensure that the Company is able to maintain its approach of active engagement with investee companies, and to encourage and support value creation, the Company will typically target meaningful minority stakes in investee companies of between 5 per cent. And 25 per cent. Of the issued share capital Whilst the Company has no limitation on the size of the companies in which it can invest, the Company typically expects to invest in companies with market capitalisations of no more than GBP250 million (with a particular focus on those below GBP100 million) at the time of investment. The Company will therefore focus on investments in the "micro" smaller companies sector and on companies admitted to trading on AIM Investee companies will typically have certain of the following characteristics: -- balance sheet asset backing; -- a competitive advantage and/or strong management track record; -- attractive cash flow potential; -- visibility of earnings/future earnings improvement; -- potential for liquidity and/or exit in line with the Company's targeted hold period; -- scope for an active shareholder to trigger value creation; and/or -- foreseeable events and catalysts to unlock intrinsic value Investments may be either direct investments made by the Company, or indirect investments made by the Company through similar funds or investment vehicles. The Company may make its investments for cash or for share consideration Although investments will not be restricted to specific sectors, the Company does not expect to pursue or make investments into companies in the biotechnology sector or in companies directly involved in extractive industries (such as mining or oil and gas) Whilst the Company will initially seek to take minority stakes in investee companies of between 5 per cent. And 25 per cent. And will not typically seek to take majority positions in investee companies, it will not be restricted from taking a majority position if considered appropriate by the Portfolio Manager The Company's portfolio is expected to be relatively concentrated, with a typical investment being between 2 per cent. And 10 per cent. Of Net Asset Value at the time of investment. This is expected over time to result in a portfolio of approximately 10 to 15 high conviction investments and a further 5 to 10 smaller portfolio holdings, in companies operating in a number of industries and geographic locations Whilst the Company will target an investment holding period of three to five years, actual holding periods and exit strategies will depend on the underlying investment, the availability of exit opportunities and the size of the Company's investment. The Company may therefore dispose of investments outside of the target timeframe should an appropriate opportunity arise The Company may hold cash in its portfolio from time to time to maintain investment flexibility. There is no limit on the amount of cash which may be held by the Company at any time. ..." This new UK small cap. investing company floating last week is an indicator of currently depressed valuations in good opportunities.
