Hardman & Co Research on Oakley Capital Investments Ltd (OCI):

Evolution of the high-growth drivers in 2023

 

In this note, we explore the factors that have driven the market-beating 22% YTD 2022 NAV growth, the 15% growth we expect in 2023 and the 35% NAV discount. In addition to fuelling returns, further exits with uplifts to carrying value (long-run average 50%) should reinforce confidence that portfolio valuations are conservative. Cash realisations from the portfolio give additional comfort – as do the £302m of liquidity and £474m of investments held for more than three years – that investment commitments will be delivered. We highlight the resilience of the portfolio in the past, and note the incremental value added in downturns, with Oakley backing resilient, profitable businesses with sticky revenues.

Oakley Capital Investments

Despite broader economic challenges, Oakley Capital Investments (OCI) continues to deliver market beating shareholder returns. A focus on cash-generative companies with recurring revenues and asset-light business models means the portfolio appears to be well insulated as financial conditions have tightened, which the managers note is highlighted by double digit earnings growth over the last financial year. The staggered nature of its investments appears to provide a consistent stream of realisat...
