As promised recently we are updating/cleaning the investor resource pages on a regular basis. This week we’ve added two new resource pages for Jeroen Bos and Peter Cundill.
We do not post all the investor updates on Twitter, Facebook etc. The best way to find new/updated etc profile pages, without missing any ….is by signing up for our free daily newsletter!
Below is a partial excerpt from the two new pages followed by link to the full page, which can also be found under Value Investors tab above.
Jeroen Bos
Jeroen Bos has more than twenty years of investment experience and is one of the premier deep value investors in Europe. he worked as an early scout for Peter Cundill in the London market.
Jeroen Bos has lived in England since 1978. He has a diploma in Economics from Sussex University and has worked his entire career in the financial services industry, mainly in the City of London. He worked for many years at Panmure Gordon & Co, the stockbroker, and it was here that his interest in value investing developed. This process accelerated after the October 1987 stock market crash, during which time he took inspiration from The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

Peter Cundill
Like many value investors, Cundill’s style of investing can trace its roots back to Benjamin Graham; Cundill liked to buy $1 for $0.40. What’s more, Cundill liked to buy stocks that were generally ignored and rejected by the general public, giving his approach a contrarian style.
Unlike Graham, who brought as many companies as he could, as long as each company met his strict criteria, Peter Cundill only considered companies with strong balance sheets and an upcoming catalyst that could unlock value for investors. It’s often the case that deep-value investments languish for years before a catalyst unlocks value. By investing only when a catalyst was upcoming, Cundill increased his risk of success. Peter usually scrutinized each company’s balance sheet to discover off balance sheet financing and assess the company’s true debt load.
