The most important ingredient of a great investment is having an outstanding ‘horse and jockey’; a business that’s operating in an attractive industry, and a highly capable management team. Kate Howitt, Portfolio Manager at Fidelity International, explains the attributes they look for, and why Wisetech Global ticks all the boxes.

Key points:

• The first step to analysing a business is to understand the returns of the company. What rates can the company reinvest at, and how much are they able to reinvest?
• An ideal business can invest at high rates of return, and can self-fund that growth from their prior returns
• Most importantly, the company must have a great ‘horse and jockey’; a business that’s operating in an attractive industry, and a highly capable management team
• Wisetech Global (ASX:WTC) is a great example of these attributes
