sean o'hara is back with us president at
[2]
pacer etfs
[3]
sean so last year we kind of had this
[6]
bifurcated market where at any given
[8]
moment he had to choose
[9]
either quarantine growth tech or
[12]
cyclical
[13]
reopening and value are we going to get
[16]
something different
[17]
or are we going to get a broad rally
[19]
walk me through how you're thinking
[20]
about now this period where
[22]
things are looking normal again and we
[24]
did get some froth cleaned out of tech
[27]
yeah thanks oliver for having me good
[29]
morning you know i was thinking as i was
[32]
getting ready for this interview you
[33]
know like
[33]
maybe you know we should just like take
[36]
the year-to-date returns and just say
[37]
let's just book them for the rest of the
[39]
year let
[39]
me just catch up because that's really
[41]
you know like seriously like what 12 13
[44]
on the s p so that's a pretty good
[45]
year's worth of returns
[47]
and if we took a breather for the next
[48]
six months and let earnings catch up i'd
[50]
feel a lot better about overall
[51]
valuations in the market
[53]
okay i do think we're seeing some of
[55]
this uh
[56]
some of this change in leadership or
[58]
change in opportunity in terms of
[60]
potential for
[61]
for making higher than average or higher
[63]
than market returns
[64]
you know we're seeing that here in the
[66]
strategy that we use
[67]
free cash flow yield as a screen for and
[69]
i was just peeking at some of the names
[71]
earlier you mentioned
[72]
tech we are overweight tech but we're
[74]
not overweight the stay-at-home tech
[76]
names or the social media tech names
[77]
we're overweight
[78]
you know ibm and intel and so like ibm's
[81]
kind of an interesting story right
[83]
they're not a cloud player the big cloud
[85]
players you know are dominated amazon
[88]
microsoft google but they are
[91]
sort of making this big play towards um
[94]
a hybrid cloud approach which might lean
[96]
more towards mist as opposed to cloud
[100]
and so they have a tremendous amount of
[102]
free cash flow every year about 12
[103]
billion dollars they've got businesses
[105]
that
[105]
are sort of old line businesses that
[108]
they're trying to shudder
[109]
and so if you do want to continue to
[111]
play cloud but you don't want to play it
[112]
at these excessive valuations you can
[114]
buy a name like ibm
[116]
for example that isn't trading at an
[118]
enormous valuation that does generate a
[120]
lot of free cash flow yield
[122]
and is sort of trying to find a if you
[123]
will a slightly different place for
[125]
themselves to be the dominant player
[127]
as the cloud continues to evolve um you
[130]
know the
[131]
uh other names that we like are consumer
[133]
discretionary names you know we have
[136]
a tilt that way in the portfolios and
[138]
that's sort of
[139]
uh the reopening trade if you will
[142]
um you know i was out and about over the
[144]
weekend you know i moved here from
[146]
pennsylvania to new jersey on the
[148]
weekends in the summer to go to the
[149]
shore
[150]
and you know anybody that's been out and
[151]
about knows that you know that it
[153]
it appears that people are just dying to
[156]
get their lives back and dying to just
[158]
get
[158]
back to normal and so the stores are
[161]
starting to get more crowded
[162]
um you know there is a little bit of a
[164]
problem perhaps as
[165]
a headwind coming up with regard to
[167]
ending the
[168]
uh unemployment checks for the 16 or 17
[171]
million people are still uh
[172]
been displaced as a result of the the
[175]
the
[176]
covet 19 pandemic but
[179]
um i think people have some money in
[181]
their pockets and are going to start to
[182]
spend it and then the last little theme
[184]
we mentioned
[184]
you know like the last time which we
[186]
still like uh we own uh homebuilders
[188]
like lennar and toll brothers and polti
[190]
again you know there's a supply demand
[192]
challenge there that
[194]
um that is sort of tilting in the favor
[196]
of the the home builders and maybe away
[198]
from the consumer
[200]
and and the consumer still has pricing
[202]
power because i saw the 30-year mortgage
[203]
rate the other day was still under 3
[205]
so again good solid names not huge
[208]
valuations lots of free cash flow
[210]
high free cash flow yield and for the
[212]
interim um
[213]
you know i think we'd rather trade those
[215]
names right now than
[216]
uh focus at the top of the market in the
[219]
big market cap names or those that have
[220]
been the big winners during the stay at
[222]
home part of this uh
[223]
this phase of the pandemic so sean as we
[226]
go through this uh
[227]
period here where you know thankfully
[230]
things feel pretty normal again and
[232]
the drama has slowed down i see news
[234]
stories about uh
[236]
sports more often and celebrities and
[239]
who's dating
[240]
who right uh the coven stories are no
[242]
longer
[243]
on the headlines anymore and as we do
[245]
get into the summer trading as we're
[246]
talking here this morning
[247]
volumes have been pretty low uh but uh
[250]
does that mean necessarily that the bull
[253]
case is going to be as
[254]
powerful or intact without those big
[258]
tech narratives from last year working
[260]
is the impetus here on
[262]
bears to make the case and pull the
[265]
market down or is it
[266]
on the bulls to say that hey we can
[268]
still get big gains without tech because
[270]
i imagine that's just
[271]
a different market when i mean just our
[274]
conversations over the past two years so
[276]
i would probably say
[277]
four out of five times shawna horizon he
[279]
likes you know big tech and um
[282]
this is a very different tone than i
[283]
hear from you
[285]
well you know it's probably neither you
[287]
know you you can have a bowl case for
[289]
part of your portfolio that's
[290]
sort of down the market cap stack if you
[292]
will and you can have some of the bigger
[294]
tech names that have been you know
[296]
dominant players in terms of driving the
[298]
markets higher
[299]
sort of settle down and so you could
[300]
have a flat market but within that flat
[302]
market you actually could have a great
[304]
opportunity to make a lot of money
[305]
but i think the last time we were here
[307]
we were talking about cal z cowz it's up
[310]
like 28 29
[311]
year to date it's 100 stock portfolio it
[313]
is overweight tech it is overweight
[316]
uh healthcare it's overweight
[318]
communication services and it's
[319]
overweight uh the consumer
[322]
but it trades at like 14 times earnings
[324]
and and so
[325]
that may be going forward uh where the
[327]
money is made so you could you could be
[329]
paying attention to the broad markets
[331]
and looking at that for your bull market
[333]
indicator
[333]
or trying to find a mini bull market or
[336]
a smaller bull market within
[338]
those broad indexes um you know i still
[340]
think there's
[341]
a potential need for a little bit of
[344]
caution
[345]
um you know the thing i've noticed
[347]
lately is that you know nobody has any i
[349]
went to buy my son a pair of shoes the
[351]
other day because it was his birthday
[352]
they don't have them in stock in the
[354]
store now i could get them online i
[355]
guess and all of that other stuff
[357]
um but even online it takes two weeks
[359]
and so you're seeing some of the supply
[361]
chain
[361]
fragility if you will that's going on
[364]
and and so
[365]
you can't have a perfect reopening and
[368]
the economy get back to where it was
[370]
supposed to be
[371]
uh with a supply chain that's still in
[373]
turmoil and then
[374]
you know the story i saw yesterday that
[376]
you know i was you know it's cookout
[378]
season for god's sakes and so you saw
[379]
the story about the
[381]
the big brazilian meat uh uh provider
[383]
that uh that
[384]
that got hacked and maybe you know
[386]
paying some ransomware
[387]
and so we're gonna have a disruption in
[389]
the beef supply maybe for the next week
[391]
or
[391]
so and i think that's to you know cause
[393]
a little bit of short-term inflation
[395]
there
[395]
um i buy the fed's narrative that
[398]
inflation could be transitory because i
[400]
think they look at the supply chain and
[402]
say once things get back to normal
[404]
um then we shouldn't we should see some
[406]
of the short-term inflation
[407]
subside but it's not so much the
[410]
printing of the money part of the
[412]
equation that's driving inflation as it
[414]
is the
[414]
the lack of goods that have been able to
[416]
sort of make their way back through the
[418]
supply chains and so
[419]
i think between the end of the year
[421]
you'll be a little cautious
[422]
you know you if you've made a lot of
[424]
money um you maybe you start to
[426]
redeploy into some lower cost names or
[428]
names that have you know more solid or
[429]
high quality businesses that actually
[431]
generate a lot of cash
[432]
um you know in a in a rising interest
[435]
rate rising
[435]
inflationary environment you don't want
[437]
to buy growth because you're paying for
[439]
future earnings and they need to be
[440]
discounted so
[441]
i'd rather get current cash on my
[443]
investments today if that's a worry
[445]
okay and you want to buy the dip in home
[447]
builders confirm before we go sean is
[450]
that correct
[451]
yeah i think you know i still think
[453]
there's a lot of room ahead for the home
[455]
builders i mean you know we have this uh
[457]
you know this
[458]
supply demand imbalance um i think
[460]
they're going to continue to be winners
[462]
in that
[462]
right you know with interest rates as
[464]
low as there unless we get mortgages to
[466]
creep back up i still think that the the
[468]
interest rate environment from a
[470]
mortgage perspective
[471]
continues to allow the average person to
[473]
buy a whole lot more home than they
[475]
would have been able to buy without
[476]
mortgage rates where they are and that's
[477]
good for home builders
[498]
