What constitutes a valuable health care intervention? The International Equity Team believes that wider use of diagnostic testing and early screening can significantly improve patient outcomes and help optimize health care expenditure. For investors, diagnostics companies offer high returns on operating capital employed, underpinned by barriers to entry, recurring revenues and nondiscretionary end-market demand.

Probability and confidence are distinct concepts, and we believe it is useful for investors to separate them. For example, the price of two potential investments may present the same discount to expected value, but confidence in the probabilities for one may exceed those of the other. That nuance may be relevant for determining the appropriate weighting of securities or evaluating diversification.

This is a guide to estimating the cost of capital, a measure of both expected return and the discount rate. For example, investors discount future free cash flows at the cost of capital to come up with a present value. Our goal is to find a figure that reflects opportunity cost sensibly, is economically sound, and gives the investor and businessperson a practical solution. We recommend settling on a reasonable cost of capital and then allocating the bulk of time thinking about future cash flows.

Over the past several years, investors piled into sectors like Equity Hedge and Event Driven, which fared poorly in 2022, and historically have been highly correlated with equities. However, our analysis shows that many hedge fund sectors benefit from volatility and higher interest rates and we believe they are likely to be good diversifiers for traditional portfolios in today's environment.
