Magellan Financial Group (MFG) $35.20

Hamish Douglass and the Magellan team have been copping plenty of criticism in recent times about underperformance over the past 12 months or so. Their flagship fund is up +7.57% for the year and is up 13.80% on a 5 year basis. That performance is weak (MM Flagship Growth is +30%) however, we believe the Magellan team are good managers, Hamish is a smart operator and one of the best pieces of advice I was ever given early on was to back intelligence. MFG now trades on a forecast P/E of 14.5x which is a ~30% discount to its 5 year average and now more aligned with the broader sector. In other words, the premium multiple that MFG attracted given their superior performance & consistent inflows of funds has been ripped away by the market, and rightly so in the short term, however taking a more medium term view and given valuation and expected yield over the coming 12 months of ~6.3% fully franked, we view this as an opportunity to buy Magellan (MFG) – we simply need to make room for it in a fully invested portfolio.
