Why Invest Outside of the U.S.? The Benefits of EAFE Large Cap | EP176
In this episode, we discuss Mawer’s EAFE large cap portfolio with Ian Turnbull, an equity analyst at Mawer. Ian explores the portfolio's diversification benefits, offering exposure to resilient, high-quality companies in 21 markets such as the Nordics, Switzerland, and Singapore. The team targets proven companies with strong moats and global leadership. Key holdings include Wolters Kluwer, BAE, and Chugai. AI's potential in healthcare R&D is highlighted, though regulatory hurdles persist. The team emphasizes balancing risks, leveraging themes like pharma innovation, defense, electrification, and AI, and addressing geopolitical uncertainties for a resilient, long-term portfolio.
Key Takeaways:
• The EAFE Large Cap portfolio provides diversification, mitigating risks like U.S. concentration and valuation fragility. It offers compelling opportunities in smaller, well-performing countries like the Nordics, Switzerland, and Singapore. The team’s bottom-up approach targets high-quality companies, emphasizing resilience and long-term potential across 21 diverse markets.
• Mawer defines large cap as the top two-thirds of the MSCI EAFE Index ($11B market cap), favoring proven, resilient companies with established moats, economies of scale, and global leadership, tested through cycles and challenges.
• Highlighting a few key holdings, Wolters Kluwer’s successful shift from print to digital boosted recurring revenue, customer stickiness, and margin expansion, with AI enhancing value creation and growth.
• Another top holding, BAE, benefits from stable government funding and high capital returns. With new management and growing defense spending, it offers strong growth potential, especially in Europe, amid rising geopolitical tensions.
• Chugai, a top holding in Japan, was once a distributor for Roche but has evolved into a key R&D engine, developing successful treatments like Hemlibra. Its GLP-1 partnership with Eli Lilly offers strong upside potential.
• AI in healthcare R&D promises faster drug discovery, optimizing early-stage processes and reducing costs, benefiting companies with strong R&D cultures while still facing regulatory limits in clinical stages. Valuation in pharma is complex, especially with competition in GLP-1s.
• The EAFE Large Cap team focuses on creating a resilient portfolio by balancing risks, seeking contradictions between holdings, and ensuring exposure to key themes like pharma innovation, defense, electrification, and AI, while monitoring geopolitical risks and tariffs.

    I'm a long-time Mawer fan, don't get me wrong, but don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back for being transparent with my money, that I am paying you to manage. Everyone should be transparent, and just because they are not doesn't make you doing it amazing. Also, the reason why you bear "the burden" of single stock volatility so easily is because it's not your money; I'd say it's pretty easy. This is all from 5 minutes into the podcast.

    One of the questions I had about Mawer is why they choose roughly 60 equities in a lot of their portfolios rather than something less like 30 or even 20. Seems dilutive of your best ideas. Have you tested for this and performance as well?

    Guess that would mean that energy consumption would grow really fast if compute power is increasing fast but efficiency flattens out. The compute power need in clients will hardly increase, but for servers the need will most likely increase with AI, ML and such will most likely explode and the amount of data stored will probably as well. Sure, games might need more, but when you can play in 8k and >60 fps, what more do you need? (I’m not a gamer though). But for AI and things like protein folding, data analysis and such, I just see no limit to coming needs.
