We think the risk of “domino effects” between financial institutions is low given the backstop of the US government. Most names in the Financial sector are now quite attractively priced. We think the asset managers could do well in the next few years as the Fed stops hiking interest rates. Although things could change, we think the current drawdown should not be concerning for long-term investors.

They have changed the distribution in the last little while. Before they were paying out a lot of the capital gains on the balance sheet as well as the performance bonus. Have now decided to keep that in-house as they weren’t seeing the market paying up for that. With the dislocation in credit markets and equities, and the fear coming out of that, it is really going to impact this company. There is a lot of pain in the equity Price. But this is really the time of volatility where they get good prices, and really plant the seeds to grow the business on earnings going forward. From that standpoint there is a very good baseline yield. They are long-term assets they are collecting fees on. Likes the business and the alignment of ownership and the people that are making these bets in investments on behalf of investors, so she thinks there is a much higher share price coming.
