Why i choose Pharmaniaga rather than other company in the market?

1. A potential industry, market worth 1 billion USD in Malaysia market. The improvement standard of living makes consumers pay greater attention for their help. (Changing of living trend)

2. The company achieve an strong growth away from it's traditional income source, Gvernment Concession

3. Experience management team, impresssive cost & inventory control strategy, help company safe millions of ringgit. (by the implementation of Lean Six Sigma strategy)

4. Highly focus on the manpower trainings & courses, improve the employees productivity & capabality.

5. As a basic nessecity, pharmaceutical industry is recession-proof where by demand will not be significant effected by the economy downturn. (can refer to the historical data)

6. Pay attention on shareholder value & equity.

7. Aggressive business expansion to oversea market, especially the Indonesia which less Healthcare manufacturer & supplier. Pharmaniaga also expanding thier business into Middle East & Vietnam market. With the high GDP of USD7730 per capita, (which is very high compare to other middle east conutries) it will be a great market to enter. For the booming of Vietnam pharmaceutical market, it will be another great expansion for the company.



8. Constantly new product launching to target different market, example Citrex products D-EPA & EPOFemme Improving market share.

9. With a high NTA, RM2.98 (around 85.6% of it's current price, a big discount)


Investment Risk:

1. The changing of politic environment may affect the group earnings. 60% sales from government concession. The current concession of 15 years will expired November 2009. (The comapny havd submitted documents for renewal before expired. Result will be announced November 2008)

2. The expansion risk to a new market including the government policies.


Conclusions:

You know what, when the first time i read all the historical annual reports, i found that this company's annual report is different. (give me a wow!) I found that, they are really put their effort on the annual report, and it is very informative. They show their strategies very clear, the risk management, inventory management strategy, risk management portfolio............................. It have give me a clear mind of what the company's business structure & how the business operate.

For me, pharmaceutical is a reccession proof industry. In the current unstable economy, put your money in a company which can protect our capital is very important.

Manulife Insurance Malaysia Berhad (MANULFE 1058)

Manulife Insurance (Malaysia) Berhad was formerly known as John Hancock Life Insurance (Malaysia) Berhad. Manulife’s presence in Malaysia was a result of a large-scale global merger between Canadian-based Manulife Financial Corporation and U.S.-based John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. completed in April 2004. The merger saw the emergence of Manulife Financial Corporation, which has more than 115 years of experience in the life insurance business, as the major shareholder of the Company. The Company began operating as Manulife Insurance (Malaysia) Berhad in January 2005.

The Company in Malaysia has a colourful and illustrious history. First established in 1963 as British American Insurance Co. Ltd, the Company scored many firsts in the industry. Among them are the first insurance company to offer Home Service insurance, and the first financial institution to introduce the 25-year Mortgage Loan scheme. In August 1984, the Company was listed on the KLSE.

In 1994, the Company was renamed John Hancock Life Insurance (Malaysia) Berhad to reflect our association with then called John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company in Boston, USA.
Throughout the years, we have positioned ourselves as a leading provider of a wide range of products and services that are designed to meet the financial protection and savings needs of eligible individuals and organisations in Malaysia. We have also gained a reputation as one of the most progressive and financially sound life insurance companies in the country. Currently, we fulfill the needs of more than 270,000 policyholders served by a dedicated agency force of 1,500 and 212 employees. An extensive network of 6 Regional Support Centre and more than 50 agency offices is strategically located throughout Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia.

The wide range of products are available through the Manulife Agency force, as well as selected financial services organizations. The innovative product portfolio covers a broad range of needs, which include:
• Life Protection
• Savings
• Health & Medical
• Retirement
• Long Term Care
• Investment

Why i choose Manulfe rather than other insurance company in the market?

1. It focus on it's specialised sector - life insurance

2. Life insurance premium income will have less effect from the economy downturn compare to general insurance especially the car insurance, fire insurance

3. If you go through the Manulfe investment portfolio, it allocate most of its cash in the goverment bond, keep on increasing. (More safe in the economy downturn)

4. Highly efficient management team, which maintain ROE above 15% (Strong)

5. With a high NTA, RM2.14 (around 75% of it's current price, a big discount)

6. Greater return than the other competitors in the same industry.

7. Low PE around 10

8. High Dividend Payout


Investment Risk:

1. Changing government policy

2. Economy Downturn


Conclusion:
Insurance industry is a great cash cow company especially the life insurance company. This kind of industry have less capital investment & maintenance cost than other industry. In the current unstable economy, put your money in a company which can protect us from high inflation is very important. So, try to think about it.

Cheers~~

The companies that you choosed, in which industries?

Do you think that, choosing a right industry is important in order to protect our capital?

Sometimes, we will forget the rules of investment. We will attracted by the low price of a stock, low PE ratio of a stock, but we have ignore the industry that this stock is in.

Try to check from your stock investment portfolio, are there any industries that will face stiff competition in future? Are the companies that you choosed, need to pump in huge capital every year to maintain the profit margin? Are the companies that you choosed, can maintain its growth or earnings in the economy downturn? Can the companies protect your capital from the high inflation?

Let's do a comparison between two industries, the insurance industry compare to airline industry.

Capital Investment:
Insurance industry is a high network business, once the business networking stable, the capital investment pump in will reduce to generate earnings growth. But for airline industry is different, it need to pump in huge capital to buy extra planes for expansion purposes. The expansion risk of the airline industry will be higher than insurance industry.

Maintanence Cost:
If that industry that you choose need high maintanence cost, it will reduce our profit in long term. For airline industry, maintenance cost is extremely high. But insurance industry's maintanence cost is low compare to airline industry. Risk reduce.

Raw Material Cost:
As we know that, more than 40% of airline industry cost come from crude oil. The fluctuation of the raw material cost will reduce the earnings margin of airline company. But for Insurance industry, the effect is less.

Economy Downturn:
As we know, in the economy recession every industries will face the earnings pressure. But which industry will face a deep earnings pressure, which industry face less earnings pressure? Let's imagine, in the economy downturn, people will reduce their expenses or traveling, it will directly affect the airline industry. With a high maintainence cost for airline industry, it will make airline industry face a great pressure. But, in a economy downturn, will u ignore to protect yourself from accident?

So......let's choose a company that is in a potential industry, in order for us to sleep nicely everyday!
