Inside ownership can give companies an advantage when it comes to long-term growth. That includes having a leader or family with a substantial stake in the business. And it also covers firms with farsighted backers, such as philanthropic foundations, which encourage management to take the long view. From airline Ryanair to hearing aid specialist Demant, investment manager Jenny Davis explores how having skin in the game drives firms to act with persistence. Background:Jenny Davis is a Baillie Gifford partner and an investment manager in our International Alpha Team. She specialises in companies based outside the US that offer ‘quality growth' – combining the potential for outperformance with durability.In this podcast, she explores how persistent, inside ownership works to the advantage of companies she has backed. Examples include firms with founders who have retained a significant stake, those with long-serving hired leaders rewarded with shares and other long-term incentives, companies with family owners where control has passed between generations, and businesses backed by a foundation or holding company with long-term objectives.Companies covered include:Discovery – the health insurer that has gone global, using data to nudge customers into improving their fitness.Ryanair – the European airline that benefited from its chief executive's obsession with controlling costs.Technoprobe – the family-run ‘probe card' specialist whose ability to spot faults in computer chips has kept pace with semiconductors' increasing complexity.Demant – the hearing aid specialist backed by a charitable foundation, which has invested in getting closer to its customers.Scout24 – the German property portal whose independence Baillie Gifford helped preserve, allowing it to pursue a successful long-term growth strategy.Resources: Baillie GiffordA new age of discovery: the case for international (restricted to certain clients)Pioneers: 8 Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant EntrepreneursShort Briefings on Long Term Thinking  Companies mentioned include:DemantDiscovery LtdFerrariHermèsInvestor ABLVMHNovo NordiskRichemontRyanairScout24ShimanoTechnoprobeTSMCTimecodes:00:00 Introduction01:55  The “scenic route” to asset management03:00  Focusing on quality growth04:35  Persistence's enduring edge05:45  Different types of inside ownership06:30 Discovery's healthy nudges08:10  Adrian Gore's visionary leadership09:45  How Michael O'Leary turbocharged Ryanair12:45  Ryanair's scale advantage14:00  Technoprobe's family leadership16:25  Engaging with Richemont's Johan Rupert18:30  Demant's long-term philanthropic backer20:55  Providing persistence's benefits to Scout2422:55  Selling out of Credit Suisse24:30  Persistence and alignment26:10  Book choice

This week, there has been a lot of discussion about South Africa's economic growth rate. The Deputy President spoke of 1.5% growth for next year. A JP Morgan analyst mentioned 2% for two years before long-term investors will start taking South Africa seriously again.

Business Unity South Africa (Busa) president Adrian Gore has warned that the pace of delivery across the joint initiatives being taken with government on electricity, logistics and crime is "plateauing" and has called for a greater sense of "urgency and determination" to re-establish momentum. In a joint statement released following the latest high-level meeting between business and government convened by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday, Gore attributed the recent lack of progress to "delays in regulatory and other approvals, as well as a slippage on the implementation of strategic plans, and the alignment of these to workable funding solutions". "We've agreed with the President that delays will be given urgent attention, and we will all ensure that momentum is maintained, key decisions are made, and policies implemented in line with agreed timelines. "We need to act with a greater sense of urgency and determination to confront these challenges, given their severe impact on the economy as a whole," Gore said, while emphasising that significant strides had been made in implementing reforms that could set the economy on a higher growth trajectory. Busa CEO Cas Coovadia told Engineering News that Gore was referring specifically to the relatively slow progress being made on the Electricity Regulation Amendment Bill and the National Prosecuting Authority Amendment Bill. This, in contrast to the fact that a "deeply flawed" National Health Insurance Bill was poised to be approved by the National Council of Provinces without direct input from five provinces. Coovadia said business also felt that it was urgent for Cabinet to approve the Freight Logistics Roadmap and for government to take the steps needed to open the way for the launch of the next renewables bidding round, which was initially scheduled for mid-2023. Likewise, it wanted the National Energy Regulator of South Africa to provide various regulatory approvals to facilitate the introduction of new electricity capacity, including approval for wheeling and grid access. Besides renewed high levels of loadshedding, the meeting also took place against the backdrop of an intensifying logistics crisis. For this reason, business indicated to government that funding and/or debt relief needed to be prioritised for Transnet, without which there was little chance that the State-owned utility would be able to take the immediate actions required to ease port congestion, ramp up rail performance and create the systems needed for private sector participation on the port and rail networks. DEEP CONCERN OVER NTSHAVENI'S COMMENTS Coovadia also confirmed that business had entered the meeting with an intention to register a strong objection to recent comments by Minister Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, in her role as Cabinet spokesperson, alleging that the private sector was seeking to engineer the collapse of the State. While her remarks were in response to a rand manipulation-related settlement, her statement was taken as a broad-based criticism of business. A stance that she has since defended further in an opinion article. Gore had, in his opening input, expressed deep concern about Ntshavheni's statements, arguing that they sent a "wrong signal" in a context where business was making strenuous efforts to assist government in resolving the crises in the areas of electricity, logistics and crime. However, the matter was not pursued further, largely because Ramaphosa used his opening remarks to acknowledge businesses unhappiness with her statements, which he said did not reflect government's position. The President also insisted, Coovadia related, that government remained fully committed to its partnership with business. In the joint statement released after the meeting, Ramaphosa stated that he saw the partnership "as evidence of the business community's commitment to building our country and overcoming the challenges that we face".

Today's ‘results interview' with South African super entrepreneur Discovery co-founder Adrian Gore goes well beyond a recap on solid financials for the year to the end of June. Discovery's now widely mimicked ‘shared value' business model has delivered superb returns for a group which has substantial businesses in SA and the UK, plus an enviable list of big-name partners whose operations circle the world. But Gore reckons if he were to do it all again, he'd be even more committed to the group's revolutionary concept where customers are directly rewarded for making positive behavioural changes. And he'd have been more confident when negotiating those deals with global giants. In the interview, he also addresses localised criticism of South African Big Business's apparent support of the political status quo, quantifies the cost of COVID claims - and provides feedback on revolutionary Discovery Green that's bringing some of SA's biggest electricity consumers together to invest in large-scale renewable energy projects. - Alec Hogg

Adrian Gore – uitvoerende hoof, Discovery Groep

Adrian Gore is the founder and CEO of Discovery Limited, which is revolutionizing insurance from a standardized transaction to a personalized consumer experience. Discovery combines behavioral economics and clinical science to encourage and reward members for exercising more, eating healthier, managing stress, and improving their health.   Discovery Limited is South Africa's largest private health insurer and has expanded internationally through partnerships with local insurers. Using the same shared value approach rooted in data and behavioral science, Discovery has added additional services including life insurance, car insurance, and most recently banking services.   In this episode we discuss: The power of understanding what drives human behavior The 7 values that guide this multibillion-dollar company How a shared value approach helps people live longer while at the same time benefiting the bottom line Using gamification as a force for good   Key Takeaways: Discovery Limited's story does a great job of illustrating that, when the benefits to all stakeholders are clear and the model is scalable, business growth is enviable. Finding the aligned purpose across stakeholders is a winning formula for engagement and growth. The power of following a hunch. When you see a system that doesn't benefit people as well as it could, and you see a path forward for a new approach, by trusting your hunch you might just revolutionize an industry, create a multibillion-dollar business, and impact millions of lives. That Discovery Limited's purpose, to make people healthier, is their driving force. They still pay attention to everything needed to run a successful business, but the reason talent seeks them out, the reason they put in their effort and passion, is to support the purpose that's integrated into the heart of the company. This is what makes them truly remarkable.   References: Discovery Limited LinkedIn Instagram Twitter Facebook   Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Founder of Discovery Adrian Gore gives an in-depth insight to the growth avenues the insurance giant is pursuing. Its core business units remain Discovery Health and Discovery Insure, but the business is leveraging its loyal client base to expand into other avenues of growth. Discovery Bank, although currently loss-making, is growing rapidly. The bank's performance will be monitored closely by investors, given that the majority of expansionary capital expenditure is going towards building that business unit. Cathie Wood's ARK Invest recently invested more than R600m into Discovery, with Gore outlining the alignment in strategy with regard to technological advancements in each business unit's models to create increased efficiencies. Gore says Ping An, of which Discovery has a 25% stake, is still central to its growth strategy despite ominous signals by the regulatory authorities in China. 

Discovery's co-founder and CEO Adrian Gore explains why his group - which relies heavily on incentivising its clients to behave in a certain manner - is at the opposiute end of the spectrum on vaccine mandates. For Gore, it's all about time - with SA now into a Fourth Wave of the pandemic and the efficacy of vaccines proven beyond doubt, the biggest challenge now is to save lives. In this discussion with BizNews.com's Alec Hogg he quantifies how a surge in vaccinations could save more than 30 000 lives.

In this episode of the BizNews Power Hour, Discovery CEO Adrian Gore lays out the case for making Covid-19 vaccines mandatory, arguing that forcing South Africans to be jabbed will save up to 40 000 lives during the Omicron-driven Fourth Wave; Stanlib chief economist Kevin Lings unpacks SA's shocking unemployment data where a further 660 000 jobs disappeared in Q3 (and youth unemployment hit 77%); Kokkie Kooyman shares his banking stock pick for 2022; and Anthony Sedgwick explains why ABAX (and other money managers) sold a chunk of RBH shares to Impala Platinum.

When Adrian Gore decided to build an insurance company in South Africa in the early 1990s, he took a novel approach: the company should aim to make people healthier. This was not - and is not - a common tactic in the insurance business. But in a country with lots of sick people and not enough doctors, it seemed like the only sustainable choice Gore told Leadership Next. His gamble paid off - Discovery is now a very successful global business that has expanded beyond health insurance. In this conversation with Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt, Gore explains how he founded Discovery, the power of incentives to drive healthy behavior and where the company is headed next.

Adrian Gore, founder & group chief executive officer at Discovery Limited talks about the company's financial results — and their plans to get all their staff vaccinated by January 2022.

437: In this interview, Adrian Gore discusses why and how he founded Discovery in South Africa in 1992. As the country was going through dramatic changes, Adrian saw an opportunity in the health insurance market as there was a shortage of doctors, extreme inequality, and a dramatic rate of medical inflation. Adrian set his company apart by using concepts of behavioral economics and incentives to create Discovery's unique business model. Since then, Adrian reaped the advantages of being years ahead in behavioral data collection and has grown his organization beyond health insurance to life insurance and behavioral banking.  We also discuss how Discovery went beyond South Africa and into other countries through strategic partnerships starting with expansion into the UK.
