After years of faltering, stock pickers see signs of hope
– canadianbusiness.com
They’re some of the most-shunned people in investing, and if there were ever a time for them to make a last stand, it’s now.
After watching hundreds of billions of dollars head out the door, stock-picking managers of mutual funds say conditions are starting to turn in their favour, and they’re in the best position in years to finally beat index funds. A lot is riding on whether they do. Predictions for the death of stock picking aren’t slowing, and they’re coming closer to truth with each dollar saying goodbye to the industry.
“The revenge of active management” is one of the themes that strategists at Jefferies see for 2017, for example. Even so, they say that a good year for stock pickers wouldn’t be enough to reverse the tide underway from actively managed funds into their index-fund rivals. It would likely just slow the movement.
The migration has been happening for years for simple reasons: Index funds have performed better than ones run by stock pickers, and they have lower fees…

Coca Cola seeks formula for future growth
– canadianbusiness.com
Coca-Cola’s profit fell 55 per cent in the most recent quarter as it restructures with hopes of driving future growth.
Yet the company said it expects its earnings to fall this year, and shares of Coca-Cola dropped more than 2 per cent Thursday.
The company, which makes Fanta, Sprite and Powerade, is in the process of selling off its bottling businesses to independent companies that will bottle its sodas and other drinks. Instead of bottling, Coca-Cola is focusing on marketing its brands and selling syrups and concentrates to the bottlers. The change means less revenue for Coca-Cola, but fewer costs.
“This is a pivotal time of change for our company,” James Quincey, Coca-Cola’s next CEO, told investors in a call Thursday.
Quincey, who is currently Coca-Cola’s No. 2 executive, is preparing to succeed CEO Muhtar Kent in May. Quincey has led the company’s drive to cut sugar in its drinks and wants to continue to do so as CEO. He said Thursday that the company will expand the Smartwater brand in Western Europe and offer more soda in smaller cans and bottles…
