Welcome to another edition of ROE The Boat.
Family influenced businesses are an interesting and niche part of the public equity markets.
If you’re a coffee-can type investor this area is a great place to look for long term compounders. There have been many studies done that highlight the longer term positive performance of family operated, or influenced, public companies.
Everyone is familiar with companies such as LVMH and Heineken who have family members controlling the company or have an influential seat on the board.
However, we wanted to find smaller less well known companies. Perhaps it’s a small cap yogurt manufacturer from Greece or an Australian auto-parts distributor.
After much searching we have compiled a list of 181 family influenced public companies from the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia, who are less well known to the general investing public.
Included in the list is the company name, ticker, country of listing, industry, and brief notes on what the company does.
We hope you enjoy going through it 👇
