Stocks to own in a high interest rate macro environment
Companies that do well – Rent Sesking / Royalty Seeking Products
Several tech giants have figured out how to make money in a high interest rate environment. These companies have so called ‘royalty ‘ revenues. e.g. Universal Music has royalty revenue. Google and facebook (Meta) too have royalty revenues – as their ad platforms keep running and generating cash – no matter what the macro environment is.
Such companies do well in high risk macro environments.
My own portfolio
While I agree with the thinking behind this (I forgot the gentleman on CNBC that I saw promoting this). these stocks still grow at far too slow a pace for my own portfolio. I prefer slightly higher risk and higher growth stocks. My top picks for the 2023 environment are the fintech companies SOFI and AFRM. I also like MRNA – which has potential well beyond the upcoming flu/covid combo vaccine.
