    Hallo Boston, kom er maar in!
    Zal wel toeval zijn dat Delta ook uit Boston komt.
    Aardig verhaal van Bloomberg over FMR.
    ===
    The intersection of Devonshire and Water streets in Boston’s financial district is the hub of one of the biggest fortunes in the U.S. each weekday morning, buses from BostonCoach Corp., a transportation company operating in 40 countries, shuttle commuters around the city, a trip that includes a stop at the Boston Seaport, a 180,000 square-foot waterfront hotel and exhibition complex. Once off the bus, many of the passengers hustle toward 82 Devonshire, the headquarters of Fidelity Investments, the second-largest U.S. mutual fund company.

    All of those businesses -- Fidelity, the bus line and the hotel -- are controlled by the Johnson family, led by patriarch Edward C. “Ned” Johnson III. Combined with the family’s collection of other assets, including a lumberyard chain, a farm and interests in oil and gas, the Johnson clan is worth $22 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
    “The success of the company speaks to their effectiveness as managers,” said Robert M. Gervis, owner of consulting firm Epilogue LLC, in a phone call from his Boston office. Gervis spent 15 years managing various Johnson family investment companies and Fidelity divisions.
    Ned Johnson, 82, is worth $6.9 billion, according to the index. His daughter, Fidelity president Abigail P. Johnson, 50, has a net worth of $10.1 billion, making her the sixth-richest woman in America. Her two siblings, Fidelity heirs Edward C. Johnson IV, 47, and Elizabeth L. Johnson, 49, each have $2.5 billion fortunes. The latter two Johnsons have never appeared on an international wealth ranking.

    Fidelity Valuation
    Vincent Loporchio, a spokesman for FMR LLC, Fidelity’s parent company, said the Johnsons declined to comment on their net worth or the company’s ownership structure. The Johnsons’ family office, Crosby Advisors LLC, relocated from Boston to Salem, New Hampshire, in 2010, according to Financial Advisor Magazine. The move may have been prompted by the state’s favorable trust taxes, the magazine said.
    The Johnson family’s most valuable asset is Fidelity Investments. The closely held mutual fund operator reported revenue of $12.8 billion and operating income of $3.3 billion in 2011. According to a 2010 FMR bond offering statement, the company had $9.2 billion in debt at the end of 2009.
    Based on the average enterprise value-to-earnings before interest and taxes and enterprise value-to-sales multiples of five publicly traded peers -- BlackRock Inc., Franklin Resources Inc., Invesco Ltd., Legg Mason Inc. and T. Rowe Price Group -- Fidelity is valued at about $37 billion, more than any other fund management company in the U.S.

    Family Ownership
    The Johnsons own 49 percent of the company, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The remaining 51 percent stake is split among 108 Fidelity executives, according to a March 2010 bond prospectus.

    Fund Growth
    Fidelity’s assets under management grew from $39.5 billion in 1985 to $409.5 billion a decade later. Today, it manages $1.4 trillion in mutual fund assets, about 12 percent of the U.S. market, according to data compiled by Investment Company Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based industry association. American households now hold 23 percent of their assets at investment companies.
    The rise of Fidelity mirrors the surge in American do-it-yourself investing. In 1977, when Ned Johnson III became CEO of FMR, Americans had less than 3 percent of their financial assets in mutual funds, according to ICI data. That percentage began to rise with the introduction of new investment vehicles, such as 401(k) plans, individual retirement accounts and simplified employee pensions. During this time, he began marketing Fidelity funds directly to the public, cutting out brokers with sales commissions of as much as 8 percent.

    Boston Seaport
    The growth attributed to the elder Johnson’s reign has slowed in recent years. Annual sales remain below 2007’s peak of $14.6 billion. Last month, Abigail Johnson was appointed president of Fidelity Investments, and was given responsibility over asset management, brokerage, retirement and benefits services. She began her career with the company in 1988.
    Ned Johnson IV, who lives on Boston’s Union Wharf, is president of family-owned Pembroke Real Estate, a company he helped create in 1997. Pembroke manages 6.5 million square feet of office and residential real estate, including the Boston Seaport. Pembroke’s primary clients are Fidelity investors and family investment vehicles, according to the 2010 FMR prospectus.
    Elizabeth Johnson listed her employer as Louisburg Farm Inc. on political donations to Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown’s 2010 campaign, according to the Washington, D.C.- based Center for Responsive Politics. Louisburg Farm is a horse show barn near the Winter Equestrian Festival grounds in Wellington, Florida. She has been president of the company since it registered with the Florida Secretary of State in 2004.

    Lumber, Oil
    The Johnsons hold some personal investments through Boston-based Northern Neck Investors LLC, an investment adviser that has $2.2 billion in assets. According to a March 2012 SEC filing, Northern Neck is principally owned by the Johnsons, and includes investments benefiting other FMR executives.
    Based on an analysis of the filings, it is estimated the Johnsons own about 80 percent of Northern Neck’s assets. Details about Northern Neck’s holdings were disclosed in the 2010 FMR prospectus due to accounting principles that required disclosure because of the Johnson family’s control of FMR.
    Among Northern Neck’s major holdings is ProBuild Holdings Inc., the largest lumberyard chain in the U.S. The company has 435 locations in the U.S. and had sales of $3.2 billion in 2009.
    Northern Neck also held $403 million in oil and gas reserves in the Rocky Mountain region and the mid-continent through FIML Natural resources, according to the March 2010 bond prospectus. The family also owns Nashua, New Hampshire-based human resources services company HR Access North America; Madison, Maine-based hydroponic tomato grower Backyard Farms LLC; and Boston-based temporary

    Christmas Cab
    As of the end of 2010, the foundation had $401.6 million in assets held in Fidelity mutual funds and a portfolio of individual securities, the filings show.
    Long shy of the media spotlight, personal insight into the family often falls to rumor and old stories. In 2004, Eric Kobren, a former Fidelity employee who ran an independent newsletter on the company’s funds, told Bloomberg Markets magazine that he once saw the elder Johnson standing outside at 2 a.m. after a Christmas party in the bitter Boston cold, looking for someone to share a cab to the airport.

    Almost anything really good in life takes time and dedication, and if you're impatient, you're more likely to give up on relationships, goals, and other things that are important to you. Good things may not always come to those who wait, but most good things that do come don't happen right away.

    'Wessanen kan nog groeien'
    1 uur geleden
    AMSTERDAM (AFN) - Wessanen heeft nog ruimte om verder te groeien op de Europese markt voor biologische voedingsmiddelen. Dat constateert analist Reginald Watson van ING in een donderdag gepubliceerd rapport, waarin hij zijn advies voor het aandeel Wessanen verhoogt van hold naar buy.

    Wessanen is al een van de grotere spelers in alle regio's en markten waar het bedrijf actief is. Volgens Watson is het daarbij overduidelijk dat het aandeel al relatief duurder is dan dat van branchegenoten. Daar staat echter tegenover dat Wessanen ook harder groeit dan die concurrenten.

    ING schat dat de mogelijke markt voor Wessanen ongeveer 6,5 miljard euro waard is. Daarvan heeft het bedrijf volgens de bank pas 9 procent daadwerkelijk veroverd. De mogelijkheid om marktaandeel te winnen is dus groot, aldus Watson.

    ING verhoogde het koersdoel voor Wessanen van 7,55 naar 11,65 euro. Het aandeel sloot woensdag op 10,13 euro.

    Unilever onderliggend sterker dan voorzien
    Omzet wel circa drie procent lager.

    Unilever heeft conform verwachting de omzet in het tweede kwartaal van 2016 zien dalen, maar boekte desalniettemin een sterker dan voorziene onderliggende groei. Dit bleek donderdag voorbeurs uit de kwartaalcijfers van het Brits-Nederlandse voedingsmiddelenconcern.

    CEO Paul Polman was te spreken over de prestaties van Unilever in de eerste jaarhelft, ondanks een "uitdagende" omgeving, gekenmerkt door een tragere mondiale economische groei en oplopende politieke spanningen. De topman zei nog geen tekenen te zien van een aantrekkende economie, reden dat Unilever op de kosten zal blijven letten. De ambitie blijft om in volume harder te groeien dan de markten waarop Unilever actief is, gecombineerd met een "geleidelijke" verbetering van de operationele marge op de kernactiviteiten en een sterke kasstroom.

    Unilever behaalde in het afgelopen kwartaal een 3,2 procent lagere omzet van 13.735 miljoen euro. De analistenconsensus lag op 13.966 miljoen euro. Wisselkoerseffecten drukten met maar liefst 8,1 procent op de omzet van het voedingsmiddelenconcern. Analisten rekenden vooraf op een negatief effect van 6,5 procent.

    De onderliggende omzetgroei, het cijfer waar analisten vooral op focussen, bedroeg 4,7 procent. De consensus rekende op 4,4 procent.

    Aan de onderliggende groei droegen prijzen 2,8 procentpunt bij en volumes 1,8 procentpunt. De marktvorsers rekenden vooraf op zowel 2,2 procentpunt voor prijzen als 2,2 procentpunt voor volumes. De onderliggende groei was afgelopen kwartaal vooral sterk bij Home Care met 6,0 procent. Voeding bleef met 2,7 procent achter op de rest van de divisies.

    Voor heel 2016 mikken de analisten op een omzet van 53.202 miljoen euro met een onderliggende omzetgroei van 4,1 procent.

    Het aandeel Unilever sloot woensdag 0,7 procent hoger op 41,90 euro.
