Every stock market correction is unique, with its own causes and consequences. There are some similarities between the current market decline and past declines.
Take today’s example; following a period of speculation and excess that began in 2020, tech stocks have taken a beating, some from as early as Q2 2021. It’s reminiscent of the tech rout in 2000, when value stocks outperformed technology stocks.
In fact, value stocks are outperforming, and providing both meaningful relative positive returns, across the board in this stock market rout. Value is outperforming in large-cap U.S., small-cap U.S. segments, foreign-developed stocks and emerging market stocks. If you’re wondering whether this resurgence in value stocks is fleeting, it’s advisable to recall that the forces that are shaping inflation and inflationary volatility are likely to outlast our expectations, our hopes.
Value investing great Stephen Jenkins, Co-CIO, and Portfolio Manager, and Jackie Au, Portfolio Manager, Sionna Investment Managers join us this episode for an enlightening and insightful conversation, sharing their wisdom about value investing’s long term durability, how they do value investing, the relative underperformance of value factor vs. growth factor (value stocks did what value stocks always do, but they didn’t do as well as growth stocks), and how the regime change of inflationary volatility and rising rates that has crushed growth stocks is favourable to value investors.
We also get a good look at some of the names and sectors they favour, with Stephen and Jackie talking about names they are holding, that fulfill their definitions of value.
