EW&L's Tim Whybourne sat down with Mark Arnold and Jason Orthman, CIO and Deputy CIO of Hyperion Asset Management, to talk through what may be the most consequential investment backdrop of our careers.
Hyperion manages over $13 billion with a single conviction: find companies that compound earnings at double-digit rates and hold them long enough for the market to agree. In practice, that requires a pain tolerance most investors don't have.
In this episode, Mark and Jason make the case that quality growth stocks, the ones most people think are expensive, are deeply undervalued on a 10-year view. They walk through how they repositioned ahead of the SaaS unwind, why they see AI as a structural shift rather than a theme, and what it means to own the full stack rather than bet on individual applications.
Their forecast: 25% EPS growth across the portfolio. The current drawdown, in their view, is the entry point.
