“The fact that people will
be full of greed, fear or
folly is predictable; the
sequence is not”
– Warren Buffett
Back in recession again
Although we’ve managed to avoid it for quite some time, the UK is back in recession. I don’t
think this is much of a surprise to most people; the UK economy has gone pretty much
nowhere since the credit crunch started back in 2007/8.
As always though, it isn’t the end of the world just yet. The US is starting to show signs of
recovery and in the past most recessions ended when the US pulled us out. With any luck,
the same process will apply this time round.
Obviously most people would much prefer that we got back to growth sooner rather than
later, but from an investing point of view it shouldn’t matter too much one way or the other.
One of the basic assumptions of sound investing is that the future will always hold unpleasant
surprises and that prudent and rational investors should be prepared for them at all times.
This means sticking to the basics of being diversified, picking high quality companies, buying
them when they are attractively valued and selling them when they’re not.
New name, new rating system This month I’m pleased to announce that we have a new name and a new rating system, all in
the name of clarity. The Defensive Value Report is now the UK Value Investor and the old
colour-coded stock rating system has changed to something which is hopefully a little more
user friendly. Although the underlying mechanics of the rating system are the same as
before, the end result is a more intuitive 1-to-5 star rating for each eligible stock in the FTSE
350. You can read more about it in the UKVI Rating System: A Quick Guide section on page
10.
7-Year forecast If you look at a chart of the FTSE 100 going back to 2009 you’ll see that since the tail end of
that year we’ve been in a trading range between 5,000 and 6,000, so it should come as no
surprise that we’re still hovering in that zone today.

I recently read The Little Book of Sideways Markets by Vitaliy Katsenelson because his
valuation approach has many similarities to the ones used here, and the name ‘sideways
market’ certainly applies to the one we have now. In fact, Vitaliy is referring to the sideways
market that we’ve been in since 1999 which gives you some indication of how long these
things can go on for.
You can see from the 7-year forecast table that we’re back into the ‘Cheap’ range once again,
with forecast future returns (including dividends) of around 10% a year over that period. The
return from equities over the long-term has been nearer 8% a year, so this forecast expects
the medium-term future to be better than average, which means that equities are more
attractive than usual.
Target asset allocation This is a counter-cyclical asset allocation strategy to give index investors and multi-asset class
investors some ideas on asset allocation. The default split is 1/3rd bonds and 2/3rds stocks,
which is similar to many pension funds. Since stocks are currently cheaper than their historic
average the target allocation is overweight stocks and underweight bonds.
You can see below that stocks are overweight by an additional 13%, taking the target
allocation up to 79% from the default 66%.
Distinctive, simple and repeatable Successful investing has more to do with a sound strategy than it has to do with skill. The
type of strategy focused on in UKValueInvestor is neatly summed up by three major
guidelines from a new book “Repeatability”, by Chris Zook and James Allen.
The book is about building an enduring business which can thrive in a changing world, but the
key lessons apply to building a high quality investment approach:
1. Distinctive – If an investor expects to beat the market he has to do something different
to what the market is doing. Value investing’s approach to measuring the market is
distinctive because it’s counter-cyclical and contrarian.
2. Simple – An approach to investing which is too complex will be too hard to follow for
most investors. Many of the most important measures and metrics used to value
companies are relatively simple, requiring no more maths than simple algebra. No Greek
letters or mathematicians required.
3. Repeatable – by using investment checklists an investor can easily repeat the process of
valuing a market or a company, while those that rely on news and gut feel are often
making it up as they go along.
Asset Allocation - Overweight Stocks
Default Stocks (66%)
Overweight Stocks (13%)
Bonds (21%)
Valuation System Various studies have shown an inverse relationship between the value of stock market indices and their future returns. The equity valuation system used here is based around a central valuation of 15 times the 10 year average earnings, which is a historically average figure. Returns over 5 – 30 years are typically average from an averagely valued starting point. The higher the valuation, the lower the future returns, and vice versa. In the long-term it seems that markets can swing from around half to double their long-term average valuation. The table to the right reflects those findings.
Target Asset
Allocation Actively adjusting asset allocations may lead to a reduction of volatility, especially during speculative booms. The mathematical model used here has a default stock allocation of 66% when the market is normally valued. When the market moves below its average valuation the stock allocation increases as future returns are expected to be higher. When the market reaches half its average valuation the stock allocation is 100%. Alternatively, when the market reaches double its normal valuation the stock allocation is 0% and the portfolio would be 100% in bonds or cash.

Model Portfolio
Earnings season has been surprisingly upbeat For the first time in a couple of months there is only one annual report to go over; so I’ll use
this space to review the earnings season now that it’s mostly over.
The avalanche of annual reports began in February with Chemring and ended in April with
UTV Media. All in all there were 11 companies up for review and the good news is that in
every single case the 10-year average earnings (sometimes called the earnings-power of the
company) and the dividend increased from the previous year.
This may be an indicator that the intrinsic value of the businesses increased in each case,
although intrinsic value is not something that can ever be calculated with much accuracy.
It’s inconceivable that a portfolio of stocks can run on forever without having any bad news,
so it’s especially important, when everything is going to plan, that investors steel themselves
for trouble ahead.
Exactly where and in what form that trouble will come from is unknown. The only thing we
can know is that at some point in the years ahead there will be trouble of some sort, and it’s
at that point that the real investor is separated from the speculator. Speculators run at the
first sign of a problem while investors tend to hold tight for the long-term.
However, for now I think we can say the portfolio has done pretty well out of this earnings
season.
ICAP shares added to the portfolio After last month’s buy alert for ICAP I added 450 shares to the model portfolio at a price of
365.2p each for a total amount, including commissions and taxes of £1,661.78.
JD Sport annual report – Still expanding at full steam "The leading retailer of sport inspired fashion apparel and footwear" - jdplc.com
JD Sport had a positive 2011, despite all the gloom which surrounds the retail industry at the
moment. Results were ahead of expectations, even when including the £2.2m loss from the
company's latest acquisition, Blacks (which includes the Millett's brand). Further acquisitions
included Sprinter in Spain, Champion in Ireland, Cecil Gee and the Fenchurch brand. The
company is continuing to pursue its relatively aggressive international expansion program,
and this is combined with further investment into exclusive brand licences and distribution
infrastructure.
The expansion and investment for future growth is reflected in the increase in long-term
earnings power, with the 10-year earnings average rising by over 15% and the dividend
increasing by 10%.

this portfolio? Dividend yield: 1% - 3% more
than the current yield of the
FTSE 100.
Dividend growth rate: 1% - 3%
higher than the FTSE 100 over
the medium term.
Capital growth rate: 1% - 3%
higher than the FTSE 100 over
the medium term (with
dividends reinvested).
Volatility: Another goal of the portfolio is to be less volatile then the FTSE 100 in the medium term.

Buy Alert: N Brown PLC
Overview N Brown is one of the country’s leading direct home shopping companies, although with
online sales now reaching 50% it may be more accurate to call the company a multi-channel
retailer.
With over 20 separate distribution brands, from JD Williams to Simply Be and Figleaves.com,
the company gets about 50% of its revenues from ladieswear, with the remainder coming
from footwear, menswear and home & leisure.
The focus is often on older customers who may find it difficult to buy from high street stores
due to their size requirements. These customers are broken down into a number of niches
and the marketing effort is targeted accordingly.
In order to continue growth, there are fledgling projects underway to grow the business
internationally, with new web sites for parts of continental Europe and the US. With the
acquisition of High & Mighty there is now also a high street presence.
Investment Checklist Each investment analysis is done by checklist to assess the risk and potential returns in each
case. This helps to ensure that the process used can be repeated consistently and accurately.
1. Is the company diverse and does it add diversity to the
portfolio?
Industrial diversity N brown is predominantly a clothing and furniture retailer. This is the same sector as the
existing holding JD Sport, although the two companies operate in very different ways in very
different segments of the clothing market. This means that adding N Brown doesn’t increase
the industrial diversity of the portfolio. Now that the portfolio has two clothing retailers I
won’t be adding any more until one of these is sold.
Geographic diversity
N Brown is a UK-centric company. There are international operations with plans to expand,
but for now these are all in the early stages, so N Brown does not add to the geographic
diversity of the portfolio.
Operational diversity
For a retailer, the company has a very diverse range of customers and brands. In fact, the
diverse range of customers is one of its main competitive advantages. With a wide range of
brands from Simply Be to Figleaves.com and Fashion World, the customers are more diverse
across height, girth and age than at most retailers.
Sales are generated across more than 20 separate distribution brands, partly online, partly via
catalogue and with some high street stores as well. Income is also split into profit from sales
and profit from supplying credit to customers, which is often a feature of the home shopping
business model.

“What always impressed
me, is how much better
the relaxed long-term
owner of stocks do with
their portfolios than the
traders do with their
switching”
– Lucien Hooper
2. Is it a high quality business?
Is it large? N Brown is listed in the FTSE 250, it has a market valuation of over £600 million and sales of
over £700 million.
Is it in the market leading group?
Yes, it’s one of the country’s leading home shopping and multi-channel retailers.
Does it have a long history of economic prosperity?
The table below shows how the company’s per share results have changed over last decade:
The slow growth at the beginning is where the business adapted to the mild economic
slowdown in the early 2000s and the rapid adoption of online retailing by its customers.
Since then things have gone very well over the last few years.
The past – does it have a consistent operating history?
Yes, the company has been in the direct home shopping business for many, many years. In
the 2000s there was a brief foray into a TV shopping channel, but in 2006/7 this and other
non-core businesses were sold or re-structured.
The present – is it free of current problems that might materially impact the
company’s intrinsic value?
Other than the current recession and slow economic environment, there are no obvious
threats to the company’s existence.
The future – Is there virtually no chance that its economic engine will become
obsolete in the next 20 years?
The industry in which they operate is unlikely to vanish overnight; we will all need clothing for
the foreseeable future. However, there are many changes afoot, but so far N Brown has
coped with them admirably, especially the move to online selling which is now 50% of sales.
Does it have a low-cost, durable competitive advantage?
There are various competitive advantages that N Brown has, but none of them are strong
enough to be called a wide economic moat. For example:
Brands: some of the brands are very well known, like figleaves.com and Simply Be.
Inventory: The sales model is very different from a high street retailer, where N Brown is
looking to sell a few items each from a vastly diverse range of sizes, while high street retailers

"Buy when most
people…including
experts…are pessimistic,
and sell when they are
actively optimistic"
– Ben Graham
prefer to sell lots of items from a few lines, which means that a high street retailer is not
competing directly with N Brown.
Lower costs: With very few high street outlets, costs can be kept down.
Profit from credit: The profits generated by offering credit to customers is a useful additional
income stream which most retailers don’t push as a core part of their business.
So while there are various ways in which N Brown is well positioned, none of them seem to
offer a wide moat against attack from competitors.
3. Is it conservatively financed?
Is the interest cover above 5 and preferably above 10? Interest payments are covered more than 15 times over by earnings.
Are total borrowings less than 5 times adjusted net profit?
Total borrowings are around £250 million with earnings at about £80 million, so borrowings
are just over three times earnings. This is a reasonable amount for most companies to have.
4. Is there a fair chance of market beating returns?
Is the dividend yield above average and likely to be sustainable? The dividend yield is very attractive at more than 5%. This dividend is well covered by
earnings and the company does not have a history of cutting its dividend. In comparison, the
FTSE 100’s dividend yield is closer to 3.6%.
Is the company cheaper than average relative to past earnings? The company is currently trading around a PE of 10, while the price to 10-year earnings
average (the ‘earnings power’ of the company) is about 12, both of which are lower, and
therefore more attractive, than for the average company.
Is the company growing faster than average? N Brown has a solid history of relatively consistent growth, the rate of which has been
something around 7% a year for the past decade which is above the 5% growth rate achieved
by the FTSE 100 companies as a group.
Benchmark comparison Comparing N Brown directly against the FTSE 100 for dividends, valuation and growth should
help to make the investment case clearer:
Comparison to benchmark
These measures of a company’s performance; the dividend yield, the earnings growth rate
and the price to earnings ratio, are the major drivers of shareholder returns. By investing at
lower valuations, with higher growth and higher dividend yields, investors can increase the
odds that their portfolio will outperform the market and N Brown scores on all three counts.
Conclusion N Brown is a leading, multi-channel retailer which has successfully moved from a direct home
shopping catalogue business model to one that includes a significant amount of online sales.

5. When buying stocks, search for bargains among quality stocks
6. Buy value, not market trends or the economic outlook
7. Diversify. In stocks and bonds, as in much else, there is safety in numbers
8. Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you
9. Aggressively monitor your investments

It has a long and relatively steady history of revenue, earnings and dividend growth in recent
years and is currently available with a single digit PE ratio and a dividend yield over 5%.
There are no obvious threats to the company, other than that it’s in the retail sector in the
middle of a long and drawn out economic downturn.
I will be buying shares in N Brown for the model portfolio in the days after this issue is
published. As usual the initial weighting will be 1/30th
(3.3%) of the total portfolio value at
the time of purchase.
Higher rated companies that were rejected Amlin, Hiscox – These are insurance companies and the portfolio already owns two insurance companies (Aviva and RSA). First Group – First is the market leading public transport company. However, it carries too much debt to get into the portfolio. It also has high interest payments relative to earnings with interest payments covered only 2.5 times. Carillion, Kier Group, Atkins (WS) – These companies operate in the design, engineering, construction and support services industries. The portfolio already owns several similar companies (MITIE, Interserve, Balfour Beatty). Ladbrokes –This company has a somewhat inconsistent history and is currently undergoing ‘significant change’ which is something that is often best avoided. Man Group – This is an investment management business which is not what the model portfolio is after. Dairy Crest – This leading dairy produce company currently has an interest cover of less than 5, which means that there is too much debt relative to earnings for our model portfolio.

UKVI Ratings: A Quick Guide
UK Value Investor has a unique rating system to sort all of the stocks in the FTSE 350. It’s based around the three long term drivers of equity returns which are earnings growth, dividends and changes to PE ratios. The goal of this rating system is to make it easy to find companies which have good combinations of high growth, high yield and an attractive valuation.
Companies which are high quality, as measured by long term growth and consistent dividend payments, which are also available at a low price, as measured by a high long term earnings yield and a high dividend yield, will tend to have a 4 or 5-star rating.
Companies which are low quality, as measured by low or negative long term growth (i.e. they’re shrinking) and with short or inconsistent dividend histories, that are available at a high price, measured by a low long term earnings yield and a low dividend yield, will tend to have a 1 or 2-star rating.
Companies which are merely average, whether in terms of the underlying company or the valuation of the shares, will typically have a 3 star rating.
Looking at 10 year data rather than just last year’s results
The rating system relies on 10 years of data in order to make reasonable assumptions about a company’s reliable earnings power, the likelihood of dividends being paid and other important factors. FTSE 350 companies that have not been listed for 10 years will not be in the tables.
Above average companies
It sounds obvious, but good companies that can generate consistently growing profits tend to make better investments. The rating system measures growth using earnings per share growth over the last ten years.
At below average prices
The total return of any stock market investment is highly dependent on this initial purchase price. The higher the price paid the lower the returns will be and the lower the price, the higher the returns (all else being equal).
The rating system measures price as being high and low in relation to the long-term earnings power of the company as well as the dividend.
The proven long-term earnings power is taken to be the average earnings of the last 10 years. This is the ‘baseline’ level of earnings that is assumed to be possible going forward. The lower the price is compared to this figure, the better.
Finally, the lower the price is relative to the dividend the higher the dividend yield, and a higher the yield is generally better.
Combining above average companies with below average prices
Shares with the best combination of long term growth (good company) and high earnings and dividend yields (good price) get the best rating which makes it much easier to find these kinds of shares.
FURTHER ANALYSIS IS STILL REQUIRED AND YOU SHOULD SEEK A PROFESSIONAL
FINANCIAL ADVISOR IF YOU THINK YOU NEED ONE. PLEASE SEE THE DISCLAIMER
ON THE LAST PAGE.
5-Star Rating System The UKVI rating system is based around the long-term drivers of shareholder returns. These are dividend yield, earnings growth rates and changes to PE ratios. The ratings are made up of a multi-step process which combines these three factors into a single measure, which allows one company to be compared directly to another in a single step. The rating is purely quantitative, which means that it is not based on the opinion of anybody, but instead relies purely on the numbers. 4 or 5 stars – These shares have the highest growth rates and dividend yields. The model portfolio will only buy shares from this group. 3 stars – This is where shares with average growth rates and/or yields live. The model portfolio may hold some 3 star shares. 1 or 2 stars – These are the shares that have low growth rates and low yields.
Ratings Table Key XXXXX – Light blue rows are for those companies that are already held in the model portfolio.
XXXXXX – Orange in the Interest Cover column indicates a cover of between 5 and 10 which is a little low for some companies. Red in this column indicates a cover of less than 5 which is low for all but the most stable utility type companies.

INVESTMENT RISK: The value of shares can fall as well as rise. Dividend payments can fall as well as rise. Any information
relating to past performance of an investment or investment service is not necessarily a guide to future performance. There is
an additional risk of making a loss when you buy shares in certain smaller companies. There is a big difference between the
buying price and the selling price of some shares and if you have to sell quickly you may get back much less than you paid. Share
prices may go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested. It may be difficult to sell or realize an
investment. You should not buy shares with money you cannot afford to lose.
DISCLOSURE: The author will typically own, as long term investments, shares in each of the companies that are holdings of the
model portfolio.
