Investments à la Carte Four Picks for the Present Stock: Toyota TM Fair Value Estimate $117 Morningstar Rating Uncertainty High Economic Moat Narrow Credit Rating A+ QQQQ YTD Stock Price Compared With Fair Value Estimate 140 Daily stock price Fair value estimate 70 7/12/2010 11/12/2010 3/12/2011 Although Toyota has had to deal with more than its fair share of headwinds since early 2010, we believe most of these issues are short-term, and the world’s largest automaker is in prime position to outperform expectations. Down 15% from its pre-earthquake price and trading at less than 70% of our fair value estimate (as of June 24), market fright against Japanese equities and overblown concerns over Toyota’s supply chain disruptions provide potential investors with a significant margin of safety. New cost-cutting measures along with a return to full production likely by the end of the year has Toyota poised to capture pent-up demand for its brand and what we expect to be big growth in the auto industry. David Hirsch Mutual Fund: Artisan Value ARTLX Category 1 Large Value Asset Allocation Cash US Stock Non US Stock Bond Other Investment Style 1 Large Value Total Rtn Since Inception 3.12% Total Assets $396.2 million Expenses 1.18% Turnover Ratio 71 –100 –50 0 50 100 This fund has delivered on its potential. The management team, which has posted stellar returns at Artisan Small-Cap Value ARTVX and Artisan Mid-Cap Value ARTQX, has steered this large-value portfolio to top-quintile results since its 2006 inception. Why now? Although the fund has mounted a comeback in terms of relative performance in the first half of 2011 after a weak 2010, the top holdings in its compact portfolio are generally foundering and arguably cheap. Three of the fund’s four largest holdings—Cisco CSCO, Microsoft MSFT, and Target TGT—account for 14% of assets, have posted double-digit losses, and now earn an average of 4.33 stars from Morningstar’s equity analysts. (Five is the cheapest.) Greg Carlson Separate Account: Primecap Management Equity Category 7 Large Growth Asset Allocation Cash US Stock Non US Stock Bond Other Total Number of holdings 126 Assets in Top 10 holdings 27.71% Minimum Investment $100,000 U.S. Stocks 88.21% P/B Ratio 0.40 –100 –50 0 50 100 The team behind the successful Vanguard Primecap VPMCX and Vanguard Capital 120 Opportunity VHCOX consists of growth investors, but they’ve always possessed a 80 healthy contrarian streak. That has made for streaky returns at times. For example, the 40 mutual funds they run have posted humdrum relative returns in the post-bear-market bounceback, but that’s due in part to their concerns about the valuations of the rapid Fair Value - Daily growers that have led the way. Daily Closing Price Their bets can take a while to work out, but their remarkable long-term track record inspires confidence.
