For over a decade, Entext has provided global institutional investors with distinctive, actionable asset allocation and thematic research, which typically challenges the market consensus. We focus on identifying key secular trends as well as tactical inflection points in relative asset performance, amid the confirmation bias and herding that typifies much investment bank analysis.
For example, in the early 2016 deflation panic, we turned bullish on EM local currency and US junk debt, global resources and value over momentum. Coming into 2017, we moved short USD and long equity growth over value, long EM over DM (focused on North Asia and tech).
Into 2018, we closed the EM overweight, moved short Asian tech on our 'peak smartphone' thesis and long volatility/USD. In 2019, key contrarian calls included going long global value including banks in Q3 as a yield curve steepening bet, in anticipation of US recession fears peaking.
Thematic coverage of key structural trends via baskets of 6-8 liquid large cap names complements our asset allocation coverage. In 2019, these themes again outperformed, returning from 44% for cloud cyber-security, 53% for AI data analytics, 44% for E-sports/gaming and 47% for the 'embedded intelligence' group of semi/sensor names.
