    Forsyth top 2015 stock picks:

    Our top picks for 2015, focus on proven performers and comprise a mix of growth
    and yield. Stocks preferred are:
     Infratil (IFT): We are comfortable that IFT’s portfolio of assets have upside
    potential. Recycling of capital provides upside optionality.
     Mainfreight (MFT): Cyclical and structural growth as MFT expands its
    network. US improvement should more than offset Australian risks.
     Ryman Healthcare (RYM): Proven performer with Australia viewed as
    providing the next step change in earnings potential.
     Sky Network TV (SKT): Competitive and regulatory risks overstated while
    underlying free cash flows are not adequately reflected in the share price
     Tower Limited (TWR): Now refocused as a niche general insurer. Premium
    growth expected given the level of under-insurance the shift to sum-insured
    has created. Surplus capital provides potential for M&A.

    IFT:12 month price target $3.2
    Bonus and Buyback
    Our rating is OUTPERFORM. We believe there is further room for the
    discount to NAV to close up, and the planned buyback will help in a modest
    way. IFT’s portfolio of assets is generally performing well, with good upside
    in most. In addition, IFT’s goal of increasing dividends at more than 10%
    per annum in the current market we believe IFT provides good defensive
    characteristics.
    Demonstration of transactional capability
    IFT has demonstrated over the past few years its ability to transact well, both on
    the buy side and the sell side. It has bought and sold ZEL and most recently sold
    its Lumo investment for a good profit. Whilst the current environment makes it
    difficult to purchase assets at a discount, it means there is potential for IFT to
    return more cash from its Lumo sale to investors.


    TPW IFT’s driver
    TPW is IFT’s largest asset and is almost 50% of IFT’s portfolio value. Of the
    electricity companies, TPW is the cheapest, as well as having good upside
    opportunities in Australia (subject to a reasonable Renewable Energy Target
    outcome) and has a compelling retail offer in the market. Like the other electricity
    stocks, we also believe TPW has room to materially lift its dividend (once it has
    repaid some debt) – although the dividend increase could be deferred if there is a
    favourable RET outcome resulting in further Australian wind farm investment.


    ZEL providing some value lift
    ZEL is IFT’s third largest investment by value (slightly smaller than WIAL) of IFT’s
    portfolio value. It is performing well at present and has good upside to earnings
    and valuation if it is able to maintain current margins. Whilst there is a notional
    regulatory ceiling to how far downstream oil industry margins can go, we do not
    appear to have reached that point as yet.

    Targeting >10% per annum dividend growth
    IFT has publicly stated it has a goal to increase dividends by at least 10% per
    annum over the next few years. That goal means IFT is likely to have amongst
    the highest dividend growth rates in the market and with investors currently
    seeking yield, should help to underpin its share price.
    Defensive characteristics in a fully valued market
    We believe IFT should hold up well if the market drifts backwards in 2015. IFT is
    trading at undemanding levels relative to its underlying asset value and therefore
    has the capacity to further close its discount to value. It also offers investors a fast
    growing dividend and is underpinned by some solid defensive infrastructure
    assets.

    Yep, it certainly looks like Infratil believes in the sector ... and so far they got it more often right than wrong. Good sign as well to see the NZ Superfund involved. Could imagine that this gives the whole retirement sector in 2015 another push upwards.

    Certainly confirms the retirement sector is a great sector to be invested in,and agree their involvement will give the whole sector a boost.
    Huge tailwind of an ageing population in Australia and NZ means great opportunities for companies in this sector.
