The Korea discount: Minority report (2/9/2012 7:48:53 PM) IT IS sometimes asserted that low South Korean equity valuations stem from the threat of instability in North Korea. That explanation looked a lot less convincing after the death of Kim Jong Il in December, when the KOSPI 200 index of leading shares and the won, the South Korean currency, both quickly shrugged off the news.So what is the source of the “Korea discount”, which means that the KOSPI has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of under ten, below most other Asian stockmarkets (see chart)? There are a few possibilities. The national economic model is still built on exports, often in highly cyclical industries such as shipbuilding. The capital structure of South Korean firms has historically been debt-heavy.But the prime cause of the discount is more likely to be poor corporate governance at the family-run chaebol conglomerates that dominate the economy.

Is one share of Xstrata, a mining company based in Switzerland but listed in London, a fair swap for 2.8 of its Swiss neighbour, Glencore, a miner and by far the world’s biggest commodities trader? Mick Davis, Xstrata’s boss, proposed a different equation for investors to ponder. “One plus one…equals 11,” was his summary of the merger’s merits.Mr Davis, an accountant by training and a qualified cricket umpire, is generally given to more sober judgments. Perhaps he can be excused his excitement. A deal would forge the world’s fourth-largest mining company with a market capitalisation not far shy of $90 billion, and Mr Davis will be its chief executive.The return of the mining mega-merger was no surprise.
