In response to structural challenges, B2B media companies, big and small, have followed similar strategies: build up events, grow subscriptions, reduce advertising and drive further into digital. Now, with stronger business models, the industry is well placed to manage slower economic growth. Organic investment continues while strong cash flow will fund targeted acquisitions as well as rising dividends.

Although the Paris Air Show is predominantly a civil aerospace event, we feel the impact of global political and security issues could also play its part this year. We highlight issues that could affect news flow and assess the potential impact on orders and sentiment. We also look at developments in defence since our Sensors for investors report to provide a relative view of the strength of the UK A&D sub-sectors.

Despite a strong recovery from the low of 2009, the listed private equity sector remains at a historically wide discount to net asset value. The long-term performance record of the industry suggests that this gap should narrow further barring renewed economic dislocation. In this report we explore the inherent advantages of private equity and show that the industry has emerged from past downturns with renewed focus and vigour. This report has been commissioned by LPEQ, a not-for-profit industry association of a broad range of listed private equity investment companies and similar vehicles, listed on the London Stock Exchange and other major European Exchanges. The report provides a review of the private equity market together with profiles on 20 LPEQ members.

This report covers the seven investment companies quoted in the UK and Ireland and reviews current trends in the distressed debt market. Currently, high unemployment rates, excess production capacities and deteriorating public finances are contributing to the glut of distressed debt in the markets. We find ourselves between the twin peaks of a ‘default super-cycle’. Default rates have been high since 2009 and are expected to remain high as a significant amount of maturing debt is predicted to hit the market in 2012/13. Banks are increasing capital requirements, forcing sellers to market earlier than expected. In the absence of another major credit event, we expect a recovery in 2014/15 with discounts to narrow at that stage. It is our view that we have not yet hit rock bottom.

Despite the negative sentiment around the UK government increasing the marginal tax rate from 50% to 62% in last week’s budget, the North Sea independents continue to offer the potential for spectacular returns. The average share price increase from the companies profiled in this report was 192% over the past 12 months. In the coming year, we believe Premier Oil, Nautical Petroleum and Encore Oil offer the best value, with high-impact exploration upside from Faroe Petroleum and DEO Petroleum.

This report reviews why the wealth management and retirement solutions markets offer many years of structural growth well ahead of GDP, stock market indices and, we believe, investor perceptions. The top-line growth from normalised levels of savings, individuals replacing employers as the main source of funding retirement, and an ageing population will occur at the same time as the supply of advice is falling. In the near term, these sectors, which are equity market sensitive, should benefit when interest rates rise.

The Strategic Defence & Security Review (SDSR) is being undertaken in double-quick time to coincide with the October comprehensive spending review, and we anticipate this will provide investors with both opportunities and threats in the UK aerospace & defence (A&D) sector. With volatility expected to remain high, we favour those companies with broad exposure to geographical markets or across civil and defence customers. In particular, we highlight BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Babcock, Chemring and Avon Rubber.

This report covers the 10 specialist underwriters (‘the Lloyd’s insurers’) quoted in the UK. The very nature of their business, particularly in areas like catastrophe reinsurance, is inevitably volatile and it is also cyclical, although maybe less so than in the past. The cycle is in a softening phase which combined with persistently low investment returns has the potential to drastically reduce sector profitability. However, paradoxically, in this sector a lot of pain is good, reducing capital and instilling greater discipline in pricing. In this environment we expect near-term profitability to be much weaker than in recent years, but to remain solidly positive in the absence of a major industry loss event. This is why we think the sector is on a knife edge and not at the edge of the cliff.

We have re-run our analysis to determine differentiated values for 'measured', 'indicated' and 'inferred' resource ounces to include the Canadian, Australian and South African markets as well as the London one. In doing so, we have been able to determine that the average value of a 'measured' resource ounce globally is US$340/oz, while that of an 'indicated' ounce is US$159/oz and that of an 'inferred' ounce is US$34/oz (excluding Witwatersrand ounces). An average ounce is worth US$158.56/oz, which contrasts sharply with both its cost of discovery (US$8.81/oz, as determined by leading international accountancy firm BDO - see inside) and an historic benchmark valuation of US$35/oz.

The past two years have undoubtedly been difficult for nonwoven producers. However, with the best time to invest in cyclical stocks the bottom of a demand cycle and when confidence is rising, we suggest that now may be a good time to examine the sector. We believe that while demand growth is not expected to be strong in 2010/11, a combination of slowly improving European demand and firm Asian demand points to increased investor interest in this market.

Pivotal data have been now reported for all three of biotech's most advanced oral anti-obesity projects, something we had expected to serve as the trigger for licensing activity with big pharma. A licensing deal is a key event for each of the companies involved, but despite data now being out no such alliance has yet materialised. In this report we investigate the prospects for licensing and outline some alternative strategies being pursued while deal negotiation continues.

In our April 2009 report, Gold - a return to the 1970s, we posited a theory that if gold repeats the same performance in the current cycle as it did during the 1970s re-inflation, it would hit US$1,567/oz ‘in the near term’. In this follow-up report we argue that, with the world still facing deflationary forces in the near term, gold’s peak is likely to be delayed to 2013, but that its peak will be correspondingly higher at US$1,879/oz.

The real estate sector has seen a significant rally since the dark days of Q408. The stock market is starting to discount the downturn as a standard property cycle, but the significant structural issue of deleveraging remains to be addressed.

Semiconductors are used in a wide variety of electronic applications from washing machines to sophisticated communication satellites. While wave upon wave of negative news has affected the entire sector, we draw investors’ attention to a number of technology adoption cycles that should see double-digit growth rates in 2009 and that can drive long-term returns. We highlight ARM Holdings, CSR and IQE as companies that are strongly poised to capitalise on these cycles and increase shareholder value.

While these are extraordinary times for the world economy, they are not without precedent, with structural trade deficits, burgeoning budget deficits and bank failures all equally prominent in the 1970s. During the 1970s, gold rose from US$35/oz to its only recently surpassed record of US$850/oz in 1980 – a 24-fold uplift in value. While we do not expect quite such dramatic appreciation in the current era, a repeat of the same cycle would see gold rise to a price of US$1,567/oz in the near term.

Within the UK’s incentive regime, it is only wind power that has both the financial returns and scalability to create value for investors in operational assets. For other types of energy, investing in cost-reducing new technologies is the higher-risk, higher-reward strategy. We examine the technologies, costs and potential returns of investing in the sector and recommend sweet-spots in the value chains.

The motor distribution segment of the Retail Sector has seen an average 74% share price fall from its 2008 highs. This reflects natural fears related to consumer spending, epitomised by the fall off in new car registrations over the past three months.

A change in South African mining legislation has seen the emergence of a junior platinum sector, which can explore and produce platinum at lower costs than the majors. Although the decline in the platinum price has affected the entire sector, the juniors’ low-cost projects remain attractive. We draw investors’ attention to cash generative companies, Eastern Platinum and Sylvania Resources, and those about to start producing, Platinum Australia, Platmin and Ridge Mining.

To many westerners, Russia remains, in Winston Churchill’s words, “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”. Yet at the dawn of the 21st century, when Russia’s economy is growing at more than 7% per annum, this seems anomalous – doubly so within the context of the mining industry, given that Russia accounts for no less than 11.5% of the world’s land mass and 14% of its mineral extraction.

The provision of Software as a Service has been around for over a decade. However, it is only in the past few years that high-speed networks and the investment in scalable architectures have enabled the emergence of a number of well positioned UK business models. In our view valuations largely reflect the negative short-term impact of SaaS delivery on revenue recognition and therefore earnings. However, importantly, these businesses have the opportunity to take market share, have high visibility of future cash flows and should significantly outperform the IT sector over the next three years.

Over the past few years obesity has been labelled a global ‘epidemic’ responsible for rising healthcare costs, but current treatments have been beset with side effects or have shown insufficient efficacy. With several new treatments now in late-stage development, the obesity sector is likely to see significant interest from big pharma over the coming 18 months and could offer significant rewards for discriminating investors.

We believe that the current oil price environment has restricted the ability of investors to garner material upside from companies with assets weighted towards production or late-stage development as these assets are near fully priced. Instead we draw investor attention to 10 companies that have a compelling mixture of exploration geared upside with operational qualities that optimise the risk/reward balance. Using Expected Monetary Value (EMV) analysis to build a portfolio of these companies further reduces investor risk, allowing exposure to the potential of high returns from exploration.

We draw investor attention to 10 companies on the cusp of production; highlighting especially Mercator Gold, Medusa Mining and Serabi Mining as three gold miners with production online now and deserving of a rerating in the short term.

Within the broad UK telecoms sector, the smaller independent communications services resellers are well placed to grow revenues and profits by driving consolidation within the huge and fragmented SME market. Entities such as Alternative Networks and AT Communications are structured to serve this market and are ready for the rollout of new converged technologies. Demand for traditional voice and data services from UK SMEs remains huge and this sector offers an interesting consolidation play.

The vehicle distribution segment of the retail sector has performed strongly over the past six months, with the share prices of the three leading independent dealership groups averaging a 51.1% advance since the beginning of October compared with just 7.6% for the FT All Share index and 17.1% for general retailers. The much vaunted momentum of industry consolidation has started to accelerate, while the City is also reassessing the quality of earnings in a segment where profits continue to rise despite falling new car registrations.

Online gambling is already a significant new industry with 2004 revenues (amounts lost by gamblers) worldwide exceeding $8bn or 37% higher than in 2003. However, they still represent little more than 2% of the total world market. There is enormous scope for continued growth as existing gamblers are tempted to play online and as new users are attracted to the medium.
