Did you ask a question?
Each quarter we provide a Boardroom Breakfast video to all Montgomery clients. For those still considering investing with us we presented a webinar that more than a thousand people registered for, so there was simply no way we were going to be able to answer every question asked. And there was a bunch! One that was asked that we promised to publish the answer to immediately was a request for the top ten stocks by Return on Equity (ROE).
With that in mind here they are:Keep in mind this is not a recommendation to acquire any stock listed. ROE is just one measure of the economics of a business but investors need to also consider valuation, balance sheet, cash flow and prospects. None of that information is presented here.
Be sure to join as a subscriber to the blog to receive an invitation to future webinars – we’ll be running a few next year.
We look forward to presenting our next crop of insights and ideas and stay tuned here at the blog for further answers to questions posed at the webinar.

Hi Roger
Do you use compounding returns when working out the returns for the fund ?
And what is the industry standard if there is one ?
Thanks
Tony
Roger Montgomery
:
Hi Tony,
Yes we display compounded average annual returns as well as cumulative total returns. All returns are after fees.

Im the same as Tony Roger Are fund members able to view a recording ?
Also after comments by the governor of the reserve bank about recessions do you have a view on this ??
Thanks
Roger Montgomery
:
We are already experiencing an income recession in Australia. If the apartment oversupply over the next two years (which will cause a correction in apartment prices first and all property shortly after) hits Australia while the income recession is still in place – a recession may be difficult to avoid.

:
Whilst ROE is an important measure, it concerns me that this can be easily ratcheted up with the leveraging effect of debt on balance sheets.
Roger Montgomery
:
The trick John is to eschew companies with high levels of debt. Little or no debt is best.
