Sun Life Management Efficiency

As of the 26th of November 2024, Return On Capital Employed is likely to grow to 0.07, while Return On Tangible Assets are likely to drop 0.01. At this time, Sun Life's Intangible Assets are very stable compared to the past year. As of the 26th of November 2024, Other Current Assets is likely to grow to about 20.7 B, while Total Assets are likely to drop about 220.3 B. Sun Life's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Sun Life manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Sun Life Financial has accumulated 13.28 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 0.2, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Debt can assist Sun Life until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Sun Life's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Sun Life Financial sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Sun to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Sun Life's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Sun Stock Performance Indicators

The ability to make a profit is the ultimate goal of any investor. But to identify the right stock is not an easy task. Is Sun Life a good investment? Although profit is still the single most important financial element of any organization, multiple performance indicators can help investors identify the equity that they will appreciate over time.

Because there are two separate transactions required, even if Sun Life position performs unexpectedly, the other equity can make up some of the losses.

For example, if an entire industry or sector drops because of unexpected headlines, the short position in Sun Life will appreciate offsetting losses from the drop in the long position's value.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Sun Life could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Sun Life when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Sun Life - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Sun Life Financial to buy it.
The correlation of Sun Life is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Sun Life moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Sun Life Financial moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
Correlation analysis and pair trading evaluation for Sun Life can also be used as hedging techniques within a particular sector or industry or even over random equities to generate a better risk-adjusted return on your portfolios.
