Diversification: Managing Investment Risk In Uncertain Times

Risk Reduction Is Key To Success 

We have all heard that old saying, “don’t put all of your eggs in one basket,”  which is an idiom that means “don’t risk everything by committing to one plan or idea”, or for the purposes of investing… DIVERSIFY.

A common problem faced by investors is how to diversify their portfolio in a manner that still provides enough exposure to potential upside profitability yet de-risks major losses over the long term.

Many public companies are faced with the same problem, how to diversify their business or investing strategy to reduce risk, and still remain viable to the investing public.

Diversification reduces risk by investing in vehicles that span different financial instruments, industries, and other categories. This is hard for many public companies to achieve due to their limitations based on their business plan and industry vertical. For example, a technology company cannot simply deviate from their core business to go invest in a lithium exploration company.

One form of investment that gives investors the diversification needed to be successful is to invest in an ETF.

(Terms and conditions – Institutional | BlackRock)

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of pooled investment security that operates much like a mutual fund. Typically, ETFs will track a particular index, sector, commodity, or other assets, but unlike mutual funds, ETFs can be purchased or sold on a stock exchange the same way that a regular stock can.

While ETFs have proven to be good investment tools they can often be quite expensive and again focus on only one sector or asset group per ETF.

What Is An Investment Issuer?

One solution for investors looking for a single stock with a diversified portfolio of companies is oto find an Investment Issuer that suits their investing criteria.

An Investment Issuer means a corporation, the shares of which are listed on a stock exchange, engaged in the business of investing in the securities and assets of, or lending to, other corporations whether or not their shares are listed on a stock exchange or not.

Investment Issuers use their stock treasury to invest in companies that meet their investing criteria and strategy. This is an important part of their strategy as they are likely to avoid debt by issuing stock in exchange for ownership in all or part of their investment target. A portion of the issued stock is typically used to raise capital and it is with that capital that the target investment is able to further conduct and grow their business which in turn should increase the value of the Investment Issuer over time.

Most Investment Issuers have both an Investment Guideline or Strategy and Investment Committee that oversees what kind of investments are made, into which sectors, and what level of support or aid is committed to each target investment company. 

The role of the Investment Issuer often goes beyond providing capital and may include leadership, guidance, further capital investment through institutions or family offices, and often results in direct day-to-day involvement within the company.

Having certain oversight can encourage the accelerated growth of many companies much in the same way that VC firms incubate their investment targets in order to exit through an acquisition event or IPO strategy.

One way that Investment Issuers often look to exit from the initial investment can be to create an entirely new stand alone public company that lists on a stock exchange in order to further propel the operating business. The Investment Issuer would hold a retained ownership interest in the stock of the new public company. Many times, this strategy occurs when the target asset has proven their business out to the point where it is a viable and economically positive entity.

Strategy

Global Care Capital’s primary focus is to deliver above average returns by making investments in companies involved in sectors that management believes are innovative and have the opportunity to generate long term returns.

The Company’s primary focus is on early and growth-stage companies in a range of sub categories, including:

• Biotechnology;

• Clean energy;

• Crypto currency mining;

• Crypto currency royalty streaming;

• Healthcare

• Natural Resources

Global Care Capital’s investment activities are guided by several key objectives, including:

•  FInding and investing in opportunities with the potential to deliver a higher return than most public market investments, by investing mainly in privately held (Seed, Series A and B), early stage, (sometimes pre-revenue) companies. These sought out companies are involved directly or indirectly in the biotechnology, blockchain, clean energy, crypto currency, healthcare, and natural resource sectors.
  
• To invest in companies with a large market opportunity, well-conceived strategy for commercial success, and a strong management team to execute that strategy.
  
• To seek investments that management believes offer an eventual “path to liquidity” (i.e., a means of converting the Company’s investment to cash over the long term, typically via public market listing(s), or through the entity invested into being acquired). Global Care Capital may invest in public securities from time to time, as opportunities arise.
  
• To look for opportunities to enhance its investment returns through active support of its portfolio companies by positioning itself in advisory, managerial and/or board positions.

Global Care Capital’s Investment Committee considers various factors in relation to any particular investment, including:

• Intrinsic value of an investment target company’s assets or potential with focus on 

qualitative inputs that might lead to a future competitive advantage. 

• Business strategy of an investment target company that aligns with Global Care’s culture and goals as defined by the Board.

• Proven management, clearly defined management objectives and strong technical and professional support.

• Future capital requirements to develop the full potential of its business and the expected ability to raise the necessary capital.

• Anticipated rate of return and the level of risk. 

• Financial performance.

• Exit strategies and criteria.

• Growth – whether there is current production development in place for new items and a 
• high level of research and development on new products; and

• Analysis of gross margins, timeline to break-even or profits.

Strong Forecasts, Strong Growth Strategy

Global Care Capital is poised to take advantage of what many analysts believe to be the perfect “crypto storm” coming our way in 2023. One analyst’s predictions for 2023 is that BTC will move higher in 2023, with a base case target of 40k which is the 90-week moving average. ⁶

^{(SourceCrypto Outlook For 2023 – Forbes Advisor Canada)7}

Demand for metals related to the global energy transition will accelerate over the coming years, in fact EVs and renewable generation are more metal-intensive than fossil fuel-based alternatives, which will support metals demand as the world transitions towards a carbon-free economy. Many top analysts believe this will lead to a six-fold increase in demand for minerals by 2050 compared to current levels, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).⁸

As the demand for renewable energy sources, and thus the long-term demand for metals increases, this is the time to get in on the ground level as an early stage adopter. 

Renowned investment pundit Warren Buffet once said “Someone’s sitting in the shade today, because someone planted a tree a long time ago” and this long term investment strategy is certainly applicable here.⁹

As rapid demand growth may not necessarily be met with an equivalent supply-side response, industry professionals believe that 2023 will be a bull market for explorers and miners that contribute to the industrial and energy metals sectors.
