Financial Planning For The Long Term

The McKinsey Global Institute issued an interesting discussion paper.

Companies with a long-term view outperform their peers on a range of key economic and financial metrics.

Their analysis used a data set of 615 large and mid-cap US publicly listed companies from 2001 to 2015.

It is based on patterns of investment, growth, earnings quality, and earnings management.

This enabled them to separate companies that take a long-term view from others and compare their relative performance, after controlling for industry characteristics and company size.

It would seem that companies would highly benefit from long-term independent financial advice.

In summary, companies with a long-term view:

  • Exhibit stronger fundamentals
  • Deliver superior financial performance
  • Continue to invest in difficult times
  • Add more to economic output and growth
