Modern Value Investing according to Buffett & Munger
While in classic value investing according to Benjamin Graham, the undervaluation of a company alone was the decisive factor for purchase, Graham’s disciple Warren Buffett, together with his partner Charlie Munger, expanded the strategy to include other influencing factors.
The result was a more modern variant of value investing, on the basic principles of which we also make our investment decisions. In addition to undervaluation, the factors considered include a high-quality business model, long-term competitive advantages, and future growth prospects.
How does value investing work?
What returns are possible?
Why doesn't everyone invest according to this strategy?
In addition to a lot of experience and excellent analytical skills, value investing also requires courage and patience. Courage not to simply hide behind a stock index, but to deviate from it. Patience because an approximation between the actual value and the current price takes time and does not happen overnight.

How our investment process works
Step 1
Analyse
Once we have set our sights on a company, we carefully research and analyze it. In addition to hard facts such as balance sheets and key figures, we are particularly interested in soft factors that cannot be fixed to figures.
We attach importance to the quality of the business model, the management or unique competitive advantages. Our analysts also hold discussions with (ex-)employees, suppliers and customers of the company to gain valuable insights.
Step 2
Valuation
In the next step, we determine the “actual” value of the company and compare it to the current price (= stock price). If the price is below the actual value, we’re investing.
We assume that the share price will adjust to the actual value in the long term.Step 3
Monitoring
Risk management
Safety margin" concept
Our risk management already starts with the selection of our companies. We prefer to invest in companies that have already been able to survive major crises unscathed in the past or have sufficient liquid assets to master future ones as well.
In addition, the “safety margin” concept ensures that each share in your portfolio has a sufficient safety cushion.
This cushion is created by the difference between the share price and the actual value of the company. The more undervalued a company is according to our analyses, the more likely it is to weaken (for example in times of crisis) in order to still be profitable.
