Strong recovery raises the prospects of performance fees; PT up

Lloyd Fonds has announced that the FY20 target for assets under management (AuM) of EUR 1.4bn has already been reached. Comparing these figures to the end of 2019, this implies a run-rate of EUR 350m ytd, despite COVID-19 and the market collapse in March and April.

Overall, the company clearly benefited disproportionately from the strong market recovery throughout the past months. The segment LLOYD FONDS contributed strongly to the AuM growth. The performance of the fund European Hidden Champion, in particular, resulted in a high net inflow of assets, amounting to more than EUR 93m most recently. Furthermore, the company won a mandate from a Scandinavian institutional investor, showing the quality of the investment process.

The artificial intelligence-based investment segment LAIC also got off to a strong start. While the contribution to AuM of more than EUR 30m still appears low at first sight, the product range that has been established is promising. Five digitally-managed mutual funds were set up. The individual digital wealth management based on the LAIC investment process is up and running. A digital pension scheme was also launched. Furthermore, the company entered various sales cooperation agreements, which include cooperative banks and insurers (Helvetia and Condor). Overall, this should clearly help to drive AuM in LAIC products and, combined with proof of concept, should develop this segment into one of the main pillars of the company.

Assessment: Lloyd Fonds obviously benefited from a strong market recovery. Besides the increase in AuM which is now also reflected in our updated model, this revives hope for a potential performance fee by year. This would presumably result in additional revenues without additional costs and should therefore lift EBIT and net income margins for the current year. For example, the unit price for the largest fund WHC Global Discovery stood at EUR 109.55 at the beginning of the year, whereas the high-water mark should thus lie in the area of roughly EUR 114. It is now at roughly EUR 118, which would result in a performance fee for the company. Therefore, despite the uncertainty of the overall market development for the remainder of the year, our updated estimates include performance fees of EUR 4.5m. Furthermore, our assumptions for AuM development were lifted, resulting in a new PT of EUR 8.20. Buy rating confirmed.

KGaA and is passed on by the M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA. It is intended solely for the recipient and may not be passed on to another company without their prior consent, regardless of whether the company is part of the same corporation or not. It contains selected information and does not purport to be complete. The investment recommendation is based on publicly available information and data ("information") believed to be accurate and complete. Warburg Research GmbH neither examines the information for accuracy and completeness, nor guarantees its accuracy and completeness. Possible errors or incompleteness of the information do not constitute grounds for liability of M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA or Warburg Research GmbH for damages of any kind whatsoever, and M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and Warburg Research GmbH are not liable for indirect and/or direct and/or consequential damages. In particular, neither M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA nor Warburg Research GmbH are liable for the statements, plans or other details contained in these investment recommendations concerning the examined companies, their affiliated companies, strategies, economic situations, market and competitive situations, regulatory environment, etc. Although due care has been taken in compiling this investment recommendation, it cannot be excluded that it is incomplete or contains errors. M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and Warburg Research GmbH, their shareholders and employees are not liable for the accuracy and completeness of the statements, estimations and the conclusions derived from the information contained in this investment recommendation.

This work including all its parts is protected by copyright. Any use beyond the limits provided by copyright law without permission is prohibited and punishable. This applies, in particular, to reproductions, translations, microfilming, and storage and processing on electronic media of the entire content or parts thereof.

DISCLOSURE ACCORDING TO §85 OF THE GERMAN SECURITIES TRADING ACT (WPHG), MAR AND MIFID II INCL. COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016/958 AND (EU) 2017/565

The valuation underlying the investment recommendation for the company analysed here is based on generally accepted and widely used methods of fundamental analysis, such as e.g. DCF Model, Free Cash Flow Value Potential, NAV, Peer Group Comparison or Sum of the Parts Model (see also http://www.mmwarburg.de/disclaimer/disclaimer.htm#Valuation). The result of this fundamental valuation is modified to take into consideration the analyst's assessment as regards the expected development of investor sentiment and its impact on the share price.

Independent of the applied valuation methods, there is the risk that the price target will not be met, for instance because of unforeseen changes in demand for the company's products, changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rate, tax rate etc. For investments in foreign markets and instruments there are further risks, generally based on exchange rate changes or changes in political and social conditions.

This commentary reflects the opinion of the relevant author at the point in time of its compilation. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the valuation can mean that the valuation is subsequently no longer accurate. Whether, or in what time frame, an update of this commentary follows is not determined in advance.

Additional internal and organisational arrangements to prevent or to deal with conflicts of interest have been implemented. Among these are the spatial separation of Warburg Research GmbH from M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and the creation of areas of confidentiality. This prevents the exchange of information, which could form the basis of conflicts of interest for Warburg Research GmbH in terms of the analysed issuers or their financial instruments.

The analysts of Warburg Research GmbH do not receive a gratuity - directly or indirectly - from the investment banking activities of M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA or of any company within the Warburg-Group.

All prices of financial instruments given in this investment recommendation are the closing prices on the last stock-market trading day before the publication date stated, unless another point in time is explicitly stated.

M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and Warburg Research GmbH are subject to the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, BaFin. M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA is additionally subject to the supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB).
