Part II of the series shows that deglobalization implies a regime change, with trend increases in capex and the labor share, as well as a higher cost of capital, lower potential growth and greater government involvement in the economy. This constitutes a secular headwind for margins and free cash flow (FCF), especially for tech and manufacturing • We are not returning to the low inflation, zero real interest rate 2010s. Further, with the end of the “Great Moderation,” we expect higher macro volatility (of GDP, inflation, interest rates and FX). • With companies facing a higher weighted average cost of capital (WACC), we expect lower average multiples. This will prove especially challenging for longer duration assets, such as venture capital and speculative tech companies that are years away from generating FCF on a sustainable basis.
