“The % of Bulls in the Investors Intelligence survey has moved up to 62.5%, the highest since April 2021.”

“What we find is that when investor bullishness has been this high in the past, forward returns tend to be below average.”

Wow 😳

“Americans spent over $113 billion on lottery tickets last year, more than they spent on movies, books, concerts and sports tickets – combined.”

$BUR considers the value of its portfolio to be equal to: deployed cost + fair value adjustments + undrawn commitments.

Since 2009, the company’s portfolio has grown from less than 100 million dollars to a total of 4.84bn as of 2023 year-end.

For YPF-related assets have been a hugely contributing factor to $BUR portfolio growth, I opted to separate the two.

The carrying value of YPF assets was estimated and reported at 1.37bn on a Burford-only basis, meaning these equate to 28% of Burford-only portfolio value. Deployed cost on YPF was reported at 60M in 2023, hence the majority of the carrying value is composed of unrealized gains.
Total fair value adjustments amount to 1.81bn dollars, with YPF being 72% of the total.
In 2023, Burford reported an unrealized gain of 542.9M on their YPF-related assets, leaving ex-YPF fair value adjustments at 154M for the year.

Total fair value adjustments represent 38% of Burford-only portfolio value. Undrawn commitments and deployed cost were 1.39bn and 1.57bn, or 29% and 33% of the portfolio value, respectively.
