We continue our superinvesting series with insights from Edgar Wachenheim III, chairman of Greenhaven Associates, a firm Ed founded in 1987. Greenhaven had assets under management of more than $9 billion as of early 2024, having handily beaten the major market indices over nearly four decades. Ed is also the author of Common Stocks and Common Sense.

In this rare fireside chat, held at MOI Global’s Latticework summit in 2018, Ed shares timeless insights into the art of contrarian, value-oriented investing. This approach, while neither popular nor particularly exciting, has served Ed and his investors spectacularly well over several decades. In a get-rich-quick world that ultimately fails to deliver, Ed has succeeded in building massive wealth slowly and methodically over time.

Ed spoke about his investment philosophy with fellow fund manager and MOI member Saurabh Madaan, founder of Manveen Asset Management and former managing director of Markel Corporation.

The audio recording is a special episode of the Latticework Podcast.
