Long-Term Investing is Gaining Momentum
Recent geopolitical turmoil and weaker-than-expected corporate earnings can quickly turn market sentiment negative and bring our focus too much into the "here and now." With that, we risk losing track of long-term value creation and sustainable profit growth. Inevitably, focusing the attention on short-term factors tends to disregard long-term outcomes. But what lessons can we learn beyond the world of fast money movers?
By putting too much emphasis on short-term returns, investors contribute to what Dominic Barton at McKinsey calls "quarterly capitalism," casting a negative influence on a company's strategy. In Barton's 2011 article "Capitalism for the Long Term," he expresses that short-termism in modern business lies at the heart of many of our problems. One year later, economist John Kay published the conclusions of his "Kay Review of UK Equity Markets and Long-term Decision Making." One of his key recommendations was the creation of an Investor Forum with the view to facilitate engagement between investors and companies, ultimately supporting long-term value creation. This new body was finally launched in July, chaired by Simon Fraser, current chair of Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust and former CIO of Fidelity Worldwide Investment.
