Spectacular results not to be repeated easily. The CEO did say that the high earnings was the result of the market being at a cyclical high.
She should perform well until May when the next results come out. What happens then if the earnings are less is anyone's guess. I will be watching the ALSI's performance until then. If the ALSI performs well, then so will Coronation.
CML has evolved into a trading stock and has become somewhat more volatile over the past months as traders get spooked rather quickly and overly so. This will cause an overreaction if results are not as good as expected.
Nevertheless, the fund managers will continue to beat their indexes and keep attracting institutional funds but this may be a problem. The higher their AUM gets, the more difficult it will be to buy the less liquid mid caps and will be forced to change to the lower performing large caps. That may mean the end of the 140% pa she has been doing lately.
I still believe she is a long term hold but will revert back to her 65% pa gains at best.
