PSG Konsult | Let down by their investment style

We expect PSG Konsult (KST) to report 5% H1 '19 HEPS growth relative to the 14% CAGR achieved over the past four years. KST's asset management division will probably report a decline in earnings due to benchmark underperformance and lower AUM levels. Despite short-term headwinds, we are positive on KST's long-term growth prospects. We expect KST to gain wealth market share as its franchise model attracts top advisers and generates positive net flows. We expect strong growth (17% CAGR in earnings to FY ‘22f) from the insurance operations that are still sub-scale. KST's share price has declined by 26% YTD resulting in a derating from 20x PE to 15.5x. We therefore believe KST's valuation presents an attractive entry point given the long-term growth potential.
