Discrepancy of Returns in the Local Market

Last week we looked at the value of the market across the 3 main sectors, namely resources, industrials and financials. This week we look at the divergence in returns across both the super sectors and the main sectors of the JSE for 2012.

The JSE, as with all markets, is not made up of a homogenous group of companies, but in fact a very diverse group of companies. As a composite these listed companies made a new price high last week as the index of shares, the FTSE/JSE All Share Index, closed at 37865, up 18.4% for the year to date, excluding dividends.

Over this last year there has been a major discrepancy of returns across the main sectors of the JSE. The positioning of an asset manager’s portfolio has therefore played a major part in determining their 2012 performance.

Drilling down beyond the 3 main super sectors, the JSE has 9 industry sectors. Half of these are in turn comprised of sub groupings. The table below indicates these sectors and their weights in the FTSE/JSE All Share Index.

Clearly the 2 big outliers within the JSE in 2012 have been Oil and gas and Basic Materials sectors. Basic Materials is in turn made up of chemicals, forestry and paper, industrial metal, general mining, gold mining, and platinum. Most of these except for forestry and paper, have struggled in 2012.

While these two sectors are just on one third of the weight of the FTSE/JSE All Share Index, they have only returned 0.6% and 3.4% respectively to the end of October. If we look at the shares that comprise the top 40, Mondi and Assore had excellent performance, however the likes of Arcelor Mittal, Angloplatinum, Harmony, Anglogold, Anglo American, and Goldfields etc. have fallen sharply in 2012. Portfolios weighted more heavily in resources have suffered the consequences in 2012.

Conversely, with a weight of just 2.6% in the JSE All Share, Aspen is up 64%, Life Healthcare 53%, Netcare 29%, and Mediclinic 45%.

Both Consumer Services and Consumer Goods have had a fantastic run in 2012. In these two sectors, Richemont is up 61%, SAB Miller 42%, Naspers 53%, and Shoprite 33%.

There has also been some discrepancy in the Financial sector where Firstrand is up 42% and Sanlam 40%, while Absa is down 1.3% and African Bank down 5% for the year to date.

So while allocation between various investment assets is an important factor to generate superior returns, almost even more important is particular stock selection.

Kind regards,

Ian de Lange
