Seed weekly - Investment Journey

Following up on Barry’s report in July that dealt with the opportunity cost of not taking sufficient risk in your investment portfolio, this report will explain the investment journey that you should be prepared for when making investment decisions.

The mention of investment journey is in reference to the upside potential and downside risks that are inherent when choosing investments that have different risk profiles to money market investments. The rationale is that the higher the risk of the instrument, the higher the payoff to compensate the investor for taking on the additional risk. Naturally this is not a linear relationship but generally holds over the long term (in excess of 5-7 years).

The below graph shows the losses made in the 2008 crash and the subsequent returns achieved by the different indices. From the below, it is clear that an investor who was invested solely in bonds would have experienced a slight uptick during the crash in 2008, but in subsequent years would have struggled to keep up with the returns made by the South African equity market. Investors in a typical money market fund would hardly have experienced any volatility over this period but the graph shows that the performance thereof lags all other investments. While equity markets do experience greater losses, the returns in bull markets typically make up for the initial losses. The chart shows that this is the case, although returns for global equities haven’t been as stellar as local and emerging markets.

Blending different assets classes wisely can have the effect of limiting losses and reducing volatility when compared to a pure equity investment. By investing into multi asset funds (the chart above uses the average Multi Asset – High Equity fund as a proxy) investors are able to reduce their losses in bear markets and then participate in a significant portion of the upside.

The above chart clearly illustrates the different ‘investment journeys’ that investors can take. Should there be a willingness to suffer larger losses over shorter periods, investors can expect to be compensated with excess returns over the long term when compared to lower risk investments.

The above argument is dependent on being invested in an index. Investments in actively managed unit trusts or share portfolios would have resulted in different return profiles that would leave the investor either better or worse off depending on the success of the particular manager.

At Seed we understand that different clients have different needs, especially in terms of the level of risk taken on. Before any investments are made, a recommended strategy unique to the client gets formulated which determines the optimal level of risk that the client should take. The recommended strategy takes into account the entire portfolio, as no investment should be viewed in isolation.

We believe that the limitation of permanent capital losses is vital to the overall success of any investment strategy and are therefore proponents of diversifying into more than one asset class and geographical location. This will take the client on an investment journey that will be more robust in an ever volatile environment.

Kind regards,

Stefan Keeve
