We had the pleasure of speaking with quality-focused superinvestor François Rochon, president and portfolio manager of Giverny Capital, based in Montreal.
Over nearly three decades of following the same investment strategy, François has delivered outperformance of roughly 6% per annum as compared to the relevant benchmark.
In the wide-ranging conversation with John, François discusses:
- the core tenets of his investment philosophy;
- quantitative vs. qualitative factors in the research process;
- portfolio construction and risk management;
- Giverny’s selling discipline;
- AMETEK vs. Stericycle, and the Philip Carret rule;
- the Carmax case study;
- developing rationality, humility, and patience; and
- building a great team at Giverny Capital.
