Strategies
Traditional, alternative, asset allocation and income strategies accessible via separate accounts & private funds.
“When short-term thinking and overly complicated statistics get involved, owning many companies that you know very little about starts to sound safer than owning stakes in five to eight companies that have good businesses, predictable futures, and bargain prices.”
― Joel Greenblatt
