Episode notes
Market Noise ≠ Market Efficiency
- Markets can react frenetically to news yet still fail to price shares near intrinsic value.
- Andrew Brenton agrees with Cliff Asness that markets have become less efficient over time.
Short-Term Mandates Inflate Mispricing
- Structural shifts in active management shorten investment horizons and reduce fundamental analysis.
- Brenton says fewer long-term fundamental investors increases mispricing opportunities today.
Think In Five-Year Windows
- Use a multi-year investment horizon when valuing mispriced companies.
- Turtle Creek typically expects the market to converge toward intrinsic value over about five years.
