Competitive Advantage Period: The Neglected Value Driver

A company’s value creation is based on how much its return on invested capital exceeds its cost of capital, the amount it can invest, and how long it can sustain the spread. This report is about the “how long” part, or the competitive advantage period (CAP). We give a history of valuation and strategy, review how analysts value stocks, and argue the life cycle stage informs the valuation approach. We offer guidance for modeling the terminal value and the implied CAP and end with a case study.

Risk Considerations
Alternative investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are suitable only for long-term investors willing to forego liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. Alternative investments are typically highly illiquid—there is no secondary market for private funds, and there may be restrictions on redemptions or assigning or otherwise transferring investments into private funds.

Alternative investment funds often engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss. Alternative investments typically have higher fees and expenses than other investment vehicles, and such fees and expenses will lower returns achieved by investors.

Alternative investment funds are often unregulated, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, and are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors. The investment strategies described in the preceding pages may not be suitable for your specific circumstances; accordingly, you should consult your own tax, legal or other advisors, at both the outset of any transaction and on an ongoing basis, to determine such suitability.

The preceding content was informational only and based on information available when created. Neither the information provided nor any opinion expressed constitutes an offer or a solicitation nor is it tax or legal advice.
