"EdgePoint positions in undervalued mid-caps trading at 45% discount to large caps while most investors concentrate in expensive Magnificent Seven tech stocks."

Executive Summary

EdgePoint Global Portfolio manager Jeff Hyrich draws parallels between current market conditions and historical bubbles, noting the return of inflation to levels not seen since the 1970s. The fund has positioned itself in smaller companies, with weighted-average market cap falling to under 10% relative to the MSCI World Index. Mid-caps currently trade at approximately 45% discount to large caps, the largest gap in over 20 years. Hyrich argues that most investors today lack experience with inflationary environments and have concentrated in popular large-cap technology stocks trading at expensive valuations. The Magnificent Seven tech stocks trade at 32x forward earnings, reminiscent of the 1990s tech bubble. EdgePoint's approach focuses on undervalued ideas where growth can be purchased without paying premium prices. The manager believes their diversified portfolio of proprietary ideas, avoiding non-obvious correlations, positions them well for various market scenarios. With internal partners having $363 million invested alongside clients, the firm demonstrates commitment to their contrarian value approach in an environment where most global funds concentrate in the largest 28 companies globally.
