Inheritance being cashed in: management is converting a long-held position into current business on purpose
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2017 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了公司正在将长期持有或积累的资产、能力、关系等转化为当前业务,且这种转化是刻意的、已产生实际业务,并且大部分收益还在未来。 在记录中,管理层多次提到“open trading”(开放交易)、“international client growth”(国际客户增长)、“emerging markets”(新兴市场)等。但关键是要找到“长期持有”且“现在开始转化”的明确表述。 例如,Rick McVey提到:“Open trading is increasingly becoming an important distribution channel for dealers... In the third quarter, open trading accounted 37% U.S. high-yield volume, 15% U.S. high-grade volume, and 13% of emerging market volume.” 但这是否是“长期持有”后“现在转化”?没有明确说这是长期积累的资产。 另一个可能:关于“Micro Lot trading”和零售业务,Rick说:“Our estimated market share trading volume under 250,000 in trade side was 23% compared to the aggregate of all retail APS trading platforms of 21%.” 但这也是当前业务,没有强调长期持有。 更关键的是,管理层提到“we are investing more than ever in technology solutions for our clients to meet their regulatory and trading needs.” 这是新投资,不是转化旧资产。 关于MiFID II,管理层说:“Our preparations for MiFID II are on schedule and we have reached multiple milestones... MarketAxess [indiscernible] tracks has been granted approval by the U.K. FCA to operators in APA for trade publishing and as in ARM for transaction reporting.” 这是新获得的批准,不是长期持有的。 唯一可能的是“open trading”本身,但管理层没有说这是长期积累的资产现在开始转化。相反,他们提到“Open trading volumes were $56 billion in the third quarter with average daily volume up 29% from the same period last year.” 这是增长,但没说这是从长期持有中转化。 再仔细看,管理层提到“Our vast network of investors and dealers operating an open trading provide an additive tool of liquidity for dealers to move bonds.” 这似乎是现有网络,但没说这是长期积累的。 没有明确的管理层表述说“我们长期持有某物,现在开始将其转化为业务”。因此,答案应为NO。
