Episode 21 Preview: Special Edition - Nathan Parkin: 2022 and once in a decade opportunities; inflation outlook; excessive pessimism and positioning for 2023

This is just a short preview of a special edition of the Good Investing Podcast featuring Investment Director Nathan Parkin. Nathan walks us through Ethical Partners approach to investment in one of the most challenging macro environments in living memory. We review the year, neatly broken into four very different quarters. Nathan speaks about how the second quarter threw up opportunities to own the very best companies in the market – opportunities that come around only once a decade. Nathan also gives us unique insights into the differences between investing in a rising inflation environment vs the low interest rate environment of 2018-2020. He also translates the macro environment to what it actually means for companies on the ground. We talk about excessive pessimism and why when that occurs it can actually be a good time to invest. We break down inflationary drivers and pinpoint why on balance of risks, the worst may be behind us. Nathan outlines key company positions and how the portfolio is positioned going into 2023 including 1) why the portfolio is overweight consumer discretionary companies despite the consensus expectation being that consumer spending will slow next year and 2) why the portfolio is underweight resources. Full episode out soon.
