Research methodology
The key drivers affecting a financial company’s share price performance are extremely diverse, and we reflect this in the valuation approaches adopted. In addition to P/E and yield relativities, we selectively adopt sum of the parts models and Gordon’s dividend discount models (sustainable ROE less growth divided by cost of equity less growth). In establishing sustainable returns and growth we focus on market opportunities, the position of the company in that market and how management are expected to run the business. For specific stocks, where for example dividend yield is key, we apply greater credence to specific valuation approaches.
