iMGP US Small and Mid Company Growth

Rayna Lesser
Gérante, Polen Capital

En quête de durabilité sur le segment des petites et moyennes capitalisations

Rayna Lesser Hannaway, gérante du fonds iMGP US Small and Mid Company Growth, évoque avec Matthieu Beyler la mise en œuvre de la philosophie de gestion de Polen sur le segment des petites capitalisations américaines.

Pouvez-vous présenter votre méthodologie et la stratégie Polen U.S. Small and mid company Growth ?

Polen Capital a été fondée en 1979 et a lancé la stratégie Polen Focus Growth en 1989. Nous mettons donc en œuvre, depuis plus de 30 ans, une approche de croissance qualitative ciblée au travers de laquelle nous investissons à la manière de propriétaires d'entreprise. Nous avons lancé notre stratégie U.S. Small Company Growth il y a quatre ans avec le même état d'esprit : identifier les meilleures entreprises parmi les petites et moyennes capitalisations pour les conserver à long terme.

Matthieu Beyler,
Director Distribution France & Luxembourg

Comment identifiez-vous les « meilleures » entreprises ?

"Pour qu’une société soit intégrée au portefeuille, elle doit répondre à des critères très stricts. Notre portefeuille est très concentré, notamment dans le segment des petites et moyennes capitalisations. Nous détenons de 25 à 35 titres et avons donc une part active très élevée et une forte conviction dans le potentiel de ces entreprises.
Pour atteindre ce degré de conviction, nous devons nous trouver en présence de ce que nous appelons « Une cinétique d'investissement ». Cette cinétique nécessite en premier lieu une solide position concurrentielle et le support d’une tendance à long terme. Elle signifie également un processus de ventes systématique qui permette à l'entreprise de continuer à générer une croissance organique, de solides marges et des flux de trésorerie. L’équipe de direction doit aussi être efficace et savoir réinvestir dans l'entreprise afin d’en assurer la croissance et de maintenir ou renforcer la position concurrentielle. C'est pour cela que nous qualifions ce cadre de « cinétique »."

Nous détenons de 25 à 35 titres et avons donc une forte conviction dans le potentiel de ces entreprises.

Quel est votre horizon d'investissement ?

Nous sommes convaincus que certaines des tendances qui existaient avant la pandémie vont bénéficier d'un effet accélérateur en raison des nouvelles habitudes de travail. Nous sommes nombreux à télétravailler, et cela va faire évoluer nos habitudes. La transition vers le cloud continuera, selon nous, de bénéficier de cette tendance.
Nous nous plaçons généralement dans une optique d’investissement entre trois et cinq ans. Mais nous voulons acheter une entreprise qui bénéficie d'une tendance qui persistera au-delà de cet horizon de temps. Notre objectif est que le cours de l'action s’apprécie de manière raisonnable sur notre période de détention.
Il faut garder en tête que même les entreprises vraiment bien gérées peuvent connaître des difficultés à court terme. Mais, d'après notre expérience, si l'équipe de direction est agile et peut s’adapter à différentes situations, ces entreprises peuvent trouver des moyens de pérenniser leur croissance et de générer les liquidités nécessaires au maintien d'un modèle économique solide. Cela dépend vraiment de l'entreprise, et nous pensons que les celles sur lesquelles nous sommes positionnés sont bien adaptées pour pouvoir non seulement survivre pendant cette période, mais aussi, dans certains cas, prospérer grâce aux conditions actuelles.

Même les entreprises vraiment bien gérées peuvent connaître des difficultés à court terme.

Dans quelles circonstances décidez-vous de sortir une société du portefeuille ?

Trois raisons peuvent nous pousser à prendre une telle décision. La première serait le fait d'identifier une meilleure alternative. La deuxième serait un non-respect des critères que nous imposons aux entreprises pour les sélectionner. De la même manière qu’une société doit répondre à des critères stricts pour que nous la sélectionnions, nous sommes très exigeants quant aux critères pour la conserver. Si ces critères ne sont pas respectés et que la capacité à long terme de l’entreprise à capitaliser sa valeur est altérée, au-delà de tout ajustement temporaire pour se remettre sur les rails, nous vendrons le titre. Troisième et dernière raison, nous sommes prêts à nous séparer de sociétés affichant une capitalisation boursière plus importante pour investir dans des sociétés plus petites, si nous estimons que la performance sera similaire ou supérieure.
