PSG Konsult (KST) has built a defensive business model by investing in technology, a nationwide office network and its large adviser base. We believe KST's H1 '20 earnings growth of 8% provides evidence of the Group's scalable distribution platform that can gain market share despite muted economic growth. KST's asset management performance was weak. However, a diversified revenue model resulted in offsetting growth in wealth management and insurance. KST's earnings growth and high barriers t...
• We met with the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) CFO last week. Management noted that the bank's operations trends in Q3 ‘19 had been in line with management's guidance after the interim results. In our view, GTB's performance has been positive YTD given the challenging operating environment in Nigeria. However, due to regulatory risks (CBN increasing minimum LDR) and the impending entry of major telcos (e.g. MTN) into the mobile money banking space, we caution that asset quality and the Bank'...
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 earn...
PSG Konsult (KST) reported a 4% increase in recurring HEPS. We are disappointed in the growth rate compared to our forecast of 16% growth and KST's rating. Benchmark underperformance and declining asset management performance fees will affect FY ‘20f earnings growth. However, KST continues to attract net inflows in both wealth and asset management. We remain positive on KST's long-term business model and growth outlook. However, we believe KST is trading at an elevated valuation relative to it...

In FY '19, PSG Konsult (KST) returned 26% relative to a SWIX return of -5.8%. Due to negative market returns and benchmark underperformance, we expect KST to have a weaker H2 '19 compared to H1 '19. Despite a slowdown in H2, we expect FY '19 wealth and asset management net flows of R10.8bn and R10.5bn respectively. We believe KST has rerated relative to its AUM and is therefore expensive at current levels.
PSG Konsult's (KST) H1 '19 results highlight impressive earnings growth due to strong investment performance, positive net flows and a growing insurance operation. KST has developed a resilient advice-led distribution network of 862 advisers in 239 offices. We believe distribution and investment in technology are key competitive advantages that will contribute to earnings growth of 20% CAGR over the next three years.
