Investment Strategy
Investment StrategyYacktman consider themselves as investors in businesses, not speculators in stocks. They approach the selectionprocess as though they were buying a long-term bond, with the purpose of holding it for an extended period of time.
Buy Stocks Like Bonds: Buy Stocks Like Bonds: Buy Stocks Like Bonds: Buy Stocks Like Bonds: 1) Invest with a medium term perspective; 2) Apply ‘Forward Rate of Return’ Concept
The main focus is on the rate of the return they would earn and the quality of those businesses. The higher the quality,the lesser the required rate of return – just like a bond investor. Clearly they don’t expect exact yields to maturity,rather they build in a lot of room for error.
Yacktman has a tendency to shy away from fadsfadsfadsfads and en-vogue companies or industries which resulted in themavoiding the TMT bubble, as well as the recent problems in the financial sector.

Example:Example:Example:Example:
Coca-Cola (symbol KO) recently traded at a Free-Cash-Flow yield of 5.5%. Assuming medium term inflation at3% and 2% organic growth, the Forward Rate of Return of Coca-Cola would be the sum of these,10.5%At the same time the S&P500, trading at 1100 had a 2.5% Free Cash Yield. (A $60 EPS, with 45% Free Cash Flowgiving $27). Assuming 3% inflation and 1.5% Free Cash Flow growth, the Forward Rate of Return of the S&P 500is 7.0%.
ConclusionConclusionConclusionConclusion: Under the above mentioned market conditions, given that Coca-Cola trades at a higher Forward Rateof Return than the benchmark, it might be considered as an attractive investment.
Forward Rate of Return Forward Rate of Return Forward Rate of Return Forward Rate of Return = Current Free Cash Flow Yield ++++ Inflation ++++ Annual Growth of Free Cash Flow

Yacktman looks for stocks that trade at a lower price than the sum of its parts. The stock prices ofindividual companies can vary significantly over short periods of time, and such price movements arenot always correlated with the changes in company fundamental performance. Accordingly, Yacktmangenerally prefers to wait for buying opportunities. Such opportunities do not always occur in correlationwith overall market performance trends.
• Short customer repurchase cycles and longproduct cycles
• Unique franchise characteristics
• Make synergistic acquisitions• Buy back stock

Appendix – Case Studies
Case Study 1.
A consumer goods favourite within the portfolio, driven by snack foods in which they are a power house. Any chip aisle in agrocery store in the US is dominated by Frito-Lay products, now roughly half Pepsi’s business. With their distribution andshelf space, they benefit from very high barriers to entry. This business has buyers who are not price sensitive. Margins arehigh and unit-volume growth is strong, as society and lifestyle changes are encouraging people to eat ‘on-the-go’.
They have an established and improving global presence, through which to distribute their low-price-point branded drinksand snack foods. As disposable incomes rise in emerging economies, demand for these goes up.
Yacktman focus on the 5.5% free-cash yield, 3-4% annual volume growth from increased sales and overseas expansion. Addin some pricing, to keep up with inflation, and you get an expected annual return of 12-13%.

If a fund manager can earn a 9-10% realreturn, owning one of the best companies in the world, even if lying inwait for other opportunities that are more attractive, then they feel that isa good way to make money for investors
The biggest risk would be if the government raised taxes on internationaloperations of US Companies

Stock traded at half of what it was at the beginning of 2007, yet the business mix and growth prospects were much better than they were back then.
Company has eight different operating units, but the most important business by far is cable network programming. Revenues and earnings in this business have more than doubled over the past five years, driven by increasing subscriber fees from cable and satellite companies, as well as higher rates on the advertising side. Plenty of room for growth exists in thisline of business.
Non-U.S. operations are another engine for growth. The company is believed to be able to generate more than $1 per share in free cash flow. With the stock price at $11.50 (when Yacktman started their analysis), the free cash flow yield was roughly 8.5% (Now it is 7.3%).
Case Study 2.

On top of that, Yacktman expects a total of 6.5% annual growth on the current free-cash-flow yield. So the estimated Forward Rate of Return is in the mid-teens per year, double what could be expected from the S&P 500 - about 7%.
The age of Rupert Murdoch (78) is not of concern in the time horizon that matters here, especially as one is paying no premium for his continued role.

Pfizer is the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. Pharmaceuticals are a cost effective way to treat an aging
population. Pfizer has a relatively unpredictable business, however, as it is fighting patent expirations, pricing controls,
and strong competition.
To compensate for the less predictable future, the stock trades at less than 7 times free cash flow.
Yacktman believe the company should generate more than $10 per share in free cash flow over the next 5 years. Given the
significant residual value of the business at that point, Yacktman see a lot of safety in the October 30th, 2010 price of

slightly more than $17 per share and have been adding to the position.
There can be material upside if the company has even modest
success with drugs in its pipeline, finds accretive acquisitions,
successfully expands its generic business, or grows its biologic
drug presence.
