COMMENT

In general, he likes the asset managers with the equity markets moving higher over the last several years, and still expects equities to move higher. Asset managers should do quite well. This is more targeted in the target date retirement type of funds, which is kind of their sweet spot because of the aging demographics. Trading at about 15-16 times forward earnings with a 12% growth rate. He prefers Blackrock (BLK-N), which is a little bit better in terms of valuations. The growth in this one is closer to 15%.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute) Prefers other names in the group.

TOP PICK
It is going to be a good year for equities. There have been steady redemptions out of equities management companies. These guys had good returns and good flows even as ETFs were becoming all the rage. (Analysts’ price target is $130.57)
TOP PICK
In a strong sector, look for a stock that has a tailwind. They enjoy good returns and new in flows into mutual funds the last three months to reverse outflows. They boast earnings growth. In a strong market, owning an equity manager like this is a good idea. 90% of their revenue comes from advisory fees. (Analysts’ price target is $137.64)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 12/20, Up 31%) Generational low in interest rates at the punctuation point of the worst point in the pandemic. We're facing slowly rising interest rates for the next 10-15 years. A big global equities business. He'd buy it again.
SELL
He was stopped out of this and cut his losses. It saved him.
