AI disruption is a slow, multi‑year margin story; this kind of move is about liquidity and the fee pool. CBRE is effectively a proxy for real estate deal and refinancing volumes, so when cap rates reset, lenders tighten, and price discovery stalls, volumes – and therefore fees – are the first things to vanish. That’s still fundamentals, just not the kind that shows up cleanly in last quarter’s EPS. The real tell is what had to change in the deal and financing backdrop to justify such a sudden repricing: this isn’t AI eating brokerage, it’s a frozen transaction market and a more fragile financing window than investors assumed, and the stock is adjusting to that reality.

If you would like to invest with us, express an interest in our listed offering, or for any other questions, please either use the contact button below or write to us directly at info@purevaluemetrics.com Our Investment Philosophy Investment Matrix Fundamental Design In 2015 we developed our dynamic Investment Matrix consisting of six fundamental variables, designed to identify value opportunities within Global Equities. Our Investment Matrix is constructed to identify and establish sustainable value. There are many reasons why that value may also not be sustainable, such as changing consumer requirements or spending more on share buybacks than current cashflow permits, the PVM Investment Matrix reacts to these changes. Algorithmic Processes Systematic Throughout We utilize daily proprietary algorithmic screening, with a high degree of automation to analyze the global equity universe, monitor our Clients' Portfolios, and identify new opportunities. Furthermore, we use algorithmic execution when buying and selling our clients' portfolios, where appropriate. Qualitative Rationale Deeper Understanding Driven by deep analysis of balance sheets and employing further levels of qualitative analysis, results in a thorough understanding of the companies we invest in. We consider factors, such as; the mix of Goodwill and Intangibles to Net Equity, tracking deviations from recognized Accounting Standards and taking a broader view of the global economic landscape. Robust Returns, less Risk Better Together The combination of quantitative systematic analysis, overlaid with qualitative reviews and active management within clearly defined parameters, results in an investment model which is both robust and not easy to replicate. Stable returns are achieved by taking less investment risk, at higher valuations. Investment Process We believe that an uncompromising investment process is a key component in delivering consistent returns.
