Commentary
November 2024
Your Fund returned +3.7% during the month compared to +5.8% for the MSCI World Index NR (£).
We travelled to New York City in November to attend Mastercard’s Investor Community Meeting. This was an immersive experience that provided opportunity to meet senior management and members of the Board and explore the company’s new products. In a series of presentations, Mastercard effectively addressed the three main concerns for investors – the remaining opportunity in consumer payments, how Mastercard is addressing vast and largely untapped commercial payment flows, and the value of its services portfolio. Collectively these reinforced confidence in the company’s opportunity for double-digit annual revenue growth and mid-teens growth in earnings per share.
Our optimism in Mastercard is also informed by our renewed appreciation of its people and organisation. This is an entrepreneurial and innovative company that is unafraid to expand into new areas. The development of a broad collection of value-added services (for cybersecurity, fraud prevention, analytics, marketing, etc.) over the past decade is clear testament to this dynamism. They diversify and accelerate Mastercard’s growth, expand existing relationships and win it market share. Services now represent just under 40% of group revenue and are set to grow annually in the high teens. Their contribution is valuable context for appraising other more nascent opportunities in commercial payments, remittances, and disbursements. These newer strategic initiatives will take time to develop, but the evidence suggests that when Mastercard focusses its innovation, assets, and capital in a particular area, it has a high probability of success.
Global equities further extended their strong year-to-date gains during the month. We review the Strategy’s performance and the implications of Donald Trump’s presidential election in a recently published Newsletter, which can be accessed here.
We also recorded a podcast interview with our colleague Tom Yeowart, available here.
We wish our readers a very happy Christmas and thank you for your interest in the Fund.
