NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The surge in Activism, Restructuring [Spinoffs] and M&A has brought enormous value. But equally with a degree of risk. With so many value plays ahead like the spinoffs of Baxter International spinning off its valuable Baxalta division, General Electric separating its Synchrony Financial segment or Fiat Chrysler demerging its Ferrari SpA luxury automotive business to investors, the question for most investors is now; how are they planning to cover and analyse the surging space to best process and evaluate the risk, uncovering the most valuable long-term companies before they breakup or the event happens?
For readers that are unsure, a new study by leading international advisory firms, The Edge Consulting Group and Deloitte found 60% of Global Spinoffs in past two decades significantly outperformed every global benchmark index in the first year and second year of listing. Hence possessing timely analysis recommending which entity could hatch the greatest value and what it'll take seems more key than ever.
"We believe more than ever, asset managers need an adviser they can trust. Our research has delivered our subscription clients an 8% alpha over seven years, returns that beat the market via our bottom-up research of select global catalyst value stocks; a massive advantage for intelligent value investors over main-street research," Ryan Mendy, COO of The Edge.
Investors buying global corporate spinoffs are seeing returns outperform both the MSCI World Index and S&P 500. "The value-maze asset class that is global corporate Spinoffs and Activism now has over $1.5 Trillion of parent companies due to break-up," added Mendy.
Their latest report and March 2015 calendar reveals the fundamental value behind companies to breakup next such as Bayer AG and its Material Science business; BHP Billiton; Blackstone Group; Hertz Global; Madison Square Garden; WR Grace & Co.; Yahoo! Inc. and its Alibaba spinoff; as well as consumer giants E.ON and Unilever NV in Europe to name a small selection of the 100 companies covered.
