A unique Special Situations research company that masters in both tracking and analysing every corporate Spinoff around the World is to launch in Europe tomorrow. Interestingly, they launch with a 50 page research note covering the UK based FTSE 100 Life Insurer, Friends Provident and the Spinoff of its subsidiary, F&C Asset Management. They believe the market is understating the potential growth of the company and highlight the embedded value of Friends Provident, talking their thoughts on the market's misconception and some extremely interesting directors' involvement.
The Spinoff ReportTM[TSR] concentrates on three core factors in its Deal focused Equity Research: Fundamentals, Technicals & Insider / Directors Dealings and their incentives, from inception to date and going forward. It has three core products: US, European and Global Spinoff Report, with over 55 major worldwide Spinoffs currently under coverage (from 14 sectors).
Warren Buffett, everyone's favourite billionaire has managed to eke out over 20% a year from spinoff strategies (albeit for over 40 years!). Essentially, Spinoffs are corporate reorganisations that create newly formed companies out of existing ones. TSR's clients benefit from the layered structure installed, first by providing a detailed master Calendar of every global demerger; next providing a Snapshot overview page of each event, then producing research on the most attractive and value orientated deals. With weekly summaries and news alerts of each Event/Special Situation, it's a fully loaded service aimed at globally based bottom-up, event-driven and growth value fund managers in this under covered yet highly rewarding and proven area. They recognise that their clients' success is their success.
Founded in 2005 by Special Situations fund manager, Jim Osman, the company has become the pioneer and leader recognised for its specialist ability in capturing corporate demergers and analysing each one for its conviction and investor value.
Directors Dealings research is completed with the partnership they have with US based Muzea Insider Consulting Services LLC, the leading Directors Dealing platform created by renowned Fund Manager and author, George Muzea. "Invest with the Insiders, not the masses" is the tag line of Muzea's acclaimed book ˜The Vital Few vs. The Trivial Many'. This is one of TSR's significant features.
With no third party marketers, TSR's research is exclusively available online via their website, www.spinoffreport.co.uk
Working with the likes of global leaders such as Deloitte, the company provides clients with a greater insight and clarity, and also with partnerships such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, it is proving a real value-added, must-have additional resource for specialist growth funds. Refreshingly; as an independent boutique, TSR has no allegiances, and therefore gives a full and unbiased account of each situation. "In these cost conscious times, it is only helpful to fund managers and their CIOs if they can distinguish and identify each resource by its specialism. Which is why through unbundling and commission sharing agreements, they are actively utilising the option of bespoking their advisors' list towards those that give genuine value for money via performance and proven conviction." said Ryan Mendy, Senior Advisor of TSR.
Commenting on the launch, Jim Osman, Founder and CEO of TSR said:
"I believe intelligent investing, is value investing. Applying the value investing principles to our specialist knowledge of Spinoffs along with a thorough scrutiny of the insiders, helps our clients maximise Alpha returns beyond what isn't ordinarily achievable."
