The influence of Graham and Buffett
Warren Buffett's investment success was founded upon the investment philosphy of a man by the name of Benjamin Graham. Graham's "value-investing" methodlogy which Buffett built on by adding (among other elements) the concept of brand-equity, best characterises the investment style of the Fund, which we take further by overlaying a filter for ESG investments.
The Fund focuses on research and company fundamentals. The manager's investment philosophy is underpinned by deep on-going fundamental research on Australian listed companies and ESG. A number of quantitative filters on company fundamentals are employed to identify intrinsic value and invest where a "Margin of Safety" exists.
