Foodservice delivery is a hot industry, but nowhere is delivery booming more than in South Korea, a market in which hyper-connectivity, an advanced payment infrastructure, and favourable population demographics have created a perfect storm for exceptional delivery services, as well as the highest demand from consumers of any market globally. By the numbers, the South Korean market is a best-case environment for modern delivery services, and these market drivers are critical in supporting demand.Delivery in South Korea, however, is also a truly unique experience, and the small details that make it so attractive should serve as inspiration for delivery companies and influencers that want to make an impact in markets where there is untapped potential, or for those players in established delivery markets competing for share. From the thoughtful, functional packaging to the easy-to-use delivery apps, the seamless nature of the delivery experience in South Korea offers insight into what global delivery will, or at least should, look like in the near future.

Who says nothing big ever happens in December?This past week we obtained, via legally questionable means, a trove of 2016 Christmas gift lists and related correspondence between a number of high-profile individuals and Santa Claus himself. The data dump also includes confidential emails between Mr. Claus and his staff and family members, and offers a window onto arguably the world's most successful (and festive) logistics operation. We contacted a public relations firm representing Santa Claus…

Note: wins and losses are listed at the end of the piece.Transport has been on a roll. A month ago we saw crazy buying any which way with weak names rising more than better names. US Rail has done ok though not stellar. US Airlines have done better.

"Why Hold Japan?" is a question that recurs among foreign investors, now the greatest cohort of investors in Japanese stocks.  The question tends to arise much more during cyclical downturns, as investors reassess their holdings.  Japan's lukewarm economic expansion as well as uncertainty surrounding events overseas still compel investors to justify their Japan allocation with a sound investment thesis, even if there are no imminent plans for portfolio reallocation.  As in the first installment of the series, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/why-hold-japan-part-i-relative-tax-regimes" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:6854">Why Hold Japan, Part I: Relative Tax Regimes</a> , we once again focus on comparative metrics within the world's largest developed economies.  This time, we focus upon relative growth cycles and comparative valuation among G7 bourses.  On the macroeconomic side, we find Japan far less of an under-performer than it was at its cyclical trough in 2011-2012.  Aggregate index valuation metrics meanwhile show valuations in Japan to be far less inflated than in 2006 (mid expansion cycle) or 2011 (mid contraction cycle), while Return on Equity is much more in line with its G7 counterparts than in either of these historical periods.  There remain signals of greater longer-term under-valuation of smaller listed firms in particular among TOPIX constituents.
