Finally, unprofitable companies also saw record performance in 2020, much of which has unwound over the past year. If the TMT bubble is any guide, these stocks can continue to underperform. The run-up for unprofitable companies in 2017-2020 was roughly equal in magnitude to the (shorter) run in 1998-1999, but the drawdown to date is only around 50% vs. 80% in 2000- 2002. History tells us that only a third of unprofitable companies achieve operational profitability and only a quarter outperform the broader universe within three years.3 Picking the winners with accuracy is a tall order indeed.
However, investment styles typically perform in multi- year regimes and there are a handful of examples of Value enjoying prolonged outperformance. The most famous of these was the aftermath of the TMT bubble, which saw around 90% outperformance for Value over a sustained seven-year period.4 Many parallels can be drawn between today and the late 1990s:

Glencore illustrates the point. The stock is up four-fold in the last two years and may appear to be a missed opportunity, yet it still offers roughly a 20% free cash flow yield today.6 An investor who bought the stock in March 2020 would have received almost the entire investment back in free cash flows in one year alone.
For 2022, a QFT has a beneficiary contract with $14,000 of interest income and another beneficiary contract with $13,500 of dividend income. Neither contract has any properly allocable deductions. The threshold amount for the 2022 tax year is $13,450. Therefore, the QFT has two beneficiary contracts with net investment income in excess of the threshold amount for the year.
In general, you may make the election provided in Regulations section 1.1411-10(g) if you own stock of a CFC or QEF. If a section 1.1411-10(g) election is in effect for stock of a CFC or QEF, generally, the amounts you include in income for regular income tax purposes under sections 951, 951A, and 1293 from the stock of the CFC or QEF are included in net investment income, and distributions from the stock of the CFC or QEF, described in section 959(d) or 1293(c), are excluded from net investment income.
Interest income earned in the ordinary course of your non-section 1411 trade or business is excluded from net investment income. If this type of interest income is included on line 1, use line 7 to adjust your net investment income.
Amounts paid in consideration for services (for example, distributions from a foreign retirement plan that are paid in the form of an annuity and include investment income that was earned by the retirement plan).
Generally, net gain from the disposition of property not used in a trade or business and net gain or loss from the disposition of property held in a section 1411 trade or business is included in net investment income if included in taxable income.
Use line 5b to adjust the amounts included on line 5a for gains and losses that are excluded from the calculation of net investment income. Enter the amount of gains (as a negative number) and losses (as a positive number) included on line 5a that are excluded from net investment income. For example, line 5b will include amounts such as the following.
However, if the losses are attributable to formerly suspended passive losses of the non-section 1411 trade or business, such gains and losses are excluded from net investment income to the extent the nonpassive income from the non-section 1411 trade or business is excluded from net investment income. See Regulations section 1.1411-4(g)(8) for more information and examples.
Starting in 2014, capital loss carryforwards must be adjusted if any sum of all capital gain or loss amounts excluded from net investment income on lines 5b and 5c was a net loss (the sum of all excluded capital losses was greater than the sum of all excluded capital gains). Generally, the annual adjustment to your capital losses carryforward is the lesser of:
If you own stock, directly or indirectly, in a CFC or a PFIC (other than certain CFCs and PFICs held in a section 1411 trade or business or PFICs marked to market under a provision of Code chapter 1 other than section 1296), use line 6 for adjustments necessary to calculate your net investment income.
Use line 5b to deduct inclusions under section 1293(a)(1)(B) that are allowed on line 5a, or to adjust the amount of gain or loss derived from the disposition of shares of a CFC or QEF. However, if the gain included in net investment income is higher than the amount reported for regular income tax (or the loss is greater), report the adjustment on line 6.
Other items of net investment income (or properly allocable deductions) not otherwise included on Form 8960 reported on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z; Form 1041, line 8; Form 1041-QFT, lines 4 and 9; Form 1040-NR, amount on statement reporting tax items for your period of U.S. residency corresponding to Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z. For example, these items could include the following.
If you have an NOL allowed under section 172 for purposes of determining your regular income tax, you may also be allowed to deduct some, or all, of the NOL in computing net investment income. Because NOLs are computed and carried over year by year, you must determine for each NOL year what portion of the NOL is attributable to net investment income. To determine how much of the accumulated NOL you can use in the current tax year as a deduction against your net investment income, you must first calculate your applicable portion of the NOL for each loss year. For more information and examples on the calculation of a section 1411 NOL and its use, see Regulations section 1.1411-4(h).
The amount of the NOL for the loss year the taxpayer would incur if only items of gross income that are used to determine net investment income and only properly allocable deductions (other than a section 1411 NOL) are taken into account in determining the NOL under section 172, or
Enter on Form 8960, line 9a, interest expense you paid or accrued during the tax year deducted on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 9. Estates and trusts enter the amount from Form 4952, line 8 (if not required to file Form 4952, use the form as a worksheet). For individuals filing a Form 1040-NR, include only the amount of investment interest expense deduction for your U.S. residency period.
Investment expenses you incur that are directly connected to the production of investment income are deductible expenses in determining your net investment income. Generally, these amounts are reported on Form 4952, line 5. See Form 4952 for the instructions for line 5 for more information. The amounts reported on line 9c are the amounts allowable after the application of the deduction limitations imposed by sections 67 and 68. See Deductions subject to AGI limitations under section 67 or section 68, later.
Any deduction allowed against net investment income that, for purposes of computing your regular income tax, is subject to either the 2% floor on miscellaneous itemized deductions (section 67) or the overall limitation on itemized deductions (section 68) is allowed in determining net investment income, but only to the extent the items are deductible after application of both limitations.
The amount of your miscellaneous itemized deductions, after application of the 2% floor but before application of the overall limitation, used in determining your net investment income is the lesser of:
The undistributed net investment income of an estate or trust (reported on line 18c) equals its net investment income (reported on line 18a) reduced by the net investment income included in the distributions to beneficiaries deductible by the estate or trust under section 651 or 661, and by the net investment income for which the estate or trust was entitled to a section 642(c) deduction, in each case as calculated under Regulations section 1.642(c)-2 and the allocation and ordering rules under Regulations section 1.662(b)-2. In the case of an S portion of an Electing Small Business Trust (ESBT), as defined by section 1361(e), net investment income is further reduced by the net investment income for which the trust was entitled to a section 170 deduction. See section 641(c)(2)(E). Regulations section 1.1411-3(e) applies the class system of income categorization, generally embodied in sections 651 through 663 and related regulations, to arrive at the trust's net investment income reduction in the case of distributions that are comprised of both net investment income and net excluded income items. See Regulations section 1.1411-3(e) for more information and examples on the calculation of undistributed net investment income.
Report the amount of net investment income distributed to beneficiaries of the estate or trust and the amount of net investment income allocated to distributions to charity pursuant to section 642(c). The amount of the deduction for net investment income distributed to charities under section 642(c) is the amount of the net investment income allocated to the charity in accordance with Regulations section 1.642(c)-2(b) and the allocation and ordering rules under Regulations section 1.662(b)-2.
In general, the deduction for distributions of net investment income may not exceed the taxable income distributed to the beneficiary for regular income tax purposes. However, in the case of an estate or trust that owns an interest in certain CFCs or PFICs, the distribution of net investment income can exceed the distribution of taxable income when the amount of distributions exceeds distributable net income for regular income tax purposes.
This year, the SEC updated our solicitation exemptions in a principles-based manner that requires disclosure of conflicts of interest and will result in investors receiving an improved mix of information before they vote.[29] These amendments will generate a more transparent proxy voting system, where the information provided will both better inform voting decisions and facilitate compliance by market professionals with their fiduciary obligations. We also reminded investment advisers that their voting obligations are not dismissed when they use third party providers, including proxy voting advice businesses. Most important, the rules and guidance will better align the interests of ordinary investors with the obligations of those who vote on their behalf, a fundamental purpose of market regulation. 2ff7e9595c
