Received some questions around our Catella position as some people saw it was reduced from 4,0 to 3,3 million shares on holdings. We normally wont comment on our trading/positions but investors should be aware holdings seldom is accurate for L/S funds as ours as …. … our prime brokerage (SEB) constantly takes assets in and out of collateral positions as security for our shorts. In the concrete case of catella we did not sell a single share in december and still hold 4.000.000 shares. SEB just took 700.000 as collateral and those…

We have been researching Origin Enterprises (full disclouse: we hold a small/medium sized position). While our initial research indicates a favorable risk/reward opportunity, we do have some questions we have a hard time answering ourselves

please read disclaimer in the end We think the industry have structually changed for the better with more stable, diversified revenue streams that should end up demanding higher multiples of earnings.

Yesterday GiG reported the Q1 2022. We are really impressed with what the team are doing there and have increased our position significantly post the report. Here is to why:

GiG have ongoing monentum reaching ATH revenue, EBITDA and EBIT They will consolidate SportnCo from 1/4 and have already secured deals together and have 40% of pipeline as combined deals.

They also icnreased their cost synergies from 5-6 EUR to 8 millioner EUR. Its significant savings for a 160 million EUR market cap.

A contrarian view from our side:
GLRE is poised for a major reversal.
Founded by @davidein back in 2007 with the goal of using insurance float to invest in Greenlight Capital and achieve superior return - it clearly failed miserably. BUT! - Since 2018 they have been focusing on turning around the business, improving underwriting, ramping innovations investments and improving the balance sheet

Probably had the most bullish Expert call i ever had on any company with JDC Today. Expert walking be through why JDC is in a pole position to go from 0,8 % market share --> 2 % -->5% --> 10 % etc.

A few notes: 1) On the broker pool side JDC and a few other like Blau Direct are so technology advanced that they will keep taking share year after year from smaller pools and consolidate the market. This is the legacy of JDC that should still grow double digit for many years.

One of the things i like the most about JDC is the many optionalities you get without paying for them.

I think most people dont know that its only their legacy/current biz that has driven a 15 % revenue CAGR + huge EBITDA expansion (0,4 --> 11,5) JDC has signed deals with Provinzial, VKB, R+V, Gothaer, E-Vorsorge to name a few. All these major potential deals is just about to slowly ramp in FY22 with takeoff in FY23 and onwards.

Even assuming a big growth decel in the current biz, group revenue growth should accel again

To understand the unique competitive position JDC is in now its worth reading recent Tegus call. When your main competitor is giving you these kind of Applause you are doing something right :) 1) JDC and other big pools will keep taking share from small pools and consolidate market as they are ahead with tech

Received a big amount of emails and PM around JDC after the recent 2 days weekness in the stock. 1) its important to do your own research when you invest in a stock. If you get nervous every time a stock declines and have to ask me if their is news out there you have not done enough work to build your own conviction.

After running Symmetry for 9 years and looking at all the danish IPO's i am excited to announce that Symmetry finally decided to become a cornerstone investor in an IPO. Relesys A/S fits all our requirements for a great business.
We have shared why here:
symmetry.dk/wp-content/upl… Five reasons why we are attracted to Relesys:

1) Impressive SAAS unit economics with 25x LTV/CAC , 10 month payback time on CAC, +120 % net revenue retention and a history of +40 % revenue growth despite running with a profit with 0 external funding.

And based on the Q4 and FY21 report from Franklin Covey yesterday i could not me more excited about the future.
The market is starting to realise that this is and enterprise SAAS company trading at <3x ARR What is FC selling?
FC is selling access to their software portal (AAP) with all the content and delivery modalities. While the software in itself is not integrated into companies the content and impact journeys is. Thats why this has sticky SAAS relationships

A thread about GiG post Q2 results and why its still one of our largest positions
We think the market is still not looking at this stock the right way - thats why GiG is still trading at a insane discount to peers thats just not warranted First of all its important to look at the business as 2 seperate entities. While there is a lot of synergies and collaborations between the segments from a valuation perspective its quite important.

For everyone with Tegus access i will highly recommend the newest Franklin Covey interview. A pretty balanced view of the business with a lot of important statements. A top 3 position in Symmetry Invest "And so once it was embedded in their entire team, it's basically like woven into the infrastructure of the day-to-day and so it's hard to remove it once it's like so embedded into their process of business. "

A few thoughts on Franklin Covey (FC) Q3 report, conference call etc.

1) They continue delivering way ahead of my own and market expectations and really crush estimates driven by higher growth of high margin subscription revenue 2) now +40 % of contracts and +50 % of AAP revenue is contracted on multi-year contracts. That both give them insane visibility into the future but is also a clear statement from customers around the attractiveness of AAP

JDC Group AG Part2:

his can also bee seen from the revenue growth T. In 2016 and 2017 the growth was mainly in the broker pool segment but from 2018 and 2019 it started to accelerate with the B2B rollout. 2020 was a little lower due to Covid but now in 2021 JDC again guide for close to 20 % revenue growth.

JDC Group AG Part1: Symmetry has over the last few months build a big position in the German InsurTech company JDC Group AG. After following the name for a while, we think now is a great to get involved. The company is at an inflection point as several of their big J-curve investments are now starting to pay off.
