My Notes

• value - GBL appeals to deep value investors seeking exposure to quality European multinationals at 25-35% discount to intrinsic value…
• Rising interest rates create dual pressure: (1) higher discount rates compress valuation multiples for portfolio holdings…
• Watch on earnings: GBL NAV per share and quarterly NAV total return versus MSCI Europe Index, Holding company discount to NAV (target range: 20-30% for sector average), Adidas gross margin trajectory and North America revenue growth (key NAV driver).
