This Value-Focused Fund Doesn’t Own Nvidia. It’s Beating the Market Anyway.

Hanson, senior portfolio manager of the $1.5 billion fund, is an acolyte of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham’s investing style, which favors high-quality companies at undervalued or fair prices and holding them for the long term to benefit from compounding growth. As such, the fund seeks out companies that display high-quality hallmarks, such as high profit margins, low debt, consistent earnings growth, and strong management teams. “Being customer-centric employers of choice, businesses that are viewed as positive to their communities—those all contribute to the flywheel of good business outcomes,” the New York City–based manager says.
