In this exclusive 4,419 word interview in the Wall Street Transcript, these two highly experienced and award winning portfolio managers share their view of the market.
“Well, what we’re seeing today is huge valuation discrepancies around the globe. And what people are willing to pay for quality growth has likely overshot in our view. At the same time, risk aversion has likely overshot. So every day, there’s a new concern or catastrophe to contend with, and there are some legitimate high-level issues that we have to contend with. The interest rate cycle is starting to turn. So for sure, there will be volatility as we go through this major shift, but we see this volatility as impending opportunity versus impending doom. So that’s kind of our in-house view.”
One of their top innovator picks is in the drug delivery business:
“One of the interesting things is, you find, for example, an antidepressant that has been approved — and of course, there are tons of those in the U.S. — and it has a 55% success rate. So the whole idea of looking back at genetics is to say, “OK, what is it about the 55% that are responsive that is different from the 45% that are nonresponsive?” So we think the runway is very wide and very long for personalized medicine. We are not unique in that view, but I think we have maybe unique insight because of the interest in the genealogical history as it links into the medical developments.”
