Value Investing: An Australian Perspective

While the long term returns from ‘value investing’ are strong and well documented, the approach has struggled over the past decade, prompting many investors to question its merits.

Our three part series discusses value investing from an Australian perspective:

Part I: Examines alternative classifications of ‘value’.
Part II: Explores the question of why value strategies based on free-cash-flow outperform the market.
Part III: Discusses behavioural biases in investor risk assessments and expectations.
