In The Spotlight –
Allan Gray

Hosted by Matt Turnbull, Sector Manager – Australian Equities, Lonsec

Featuring: Suhas Nayak, Portfolio Manager, Allan Gray

Episode highlights:

  • Allan Gray seeks out companies that are out of favour, where valuations may not fully reflect their long‑term earnings potential.
  • Recruiting from a range of non-traditional backgrounds, such as science and engineering, encourages fresh perspectives within the investment team.
  • Extensive review of earnings, annual reports and long‑term company histories to understand what “normal” earnings may look like.
  • A discussion of increasing correlations among large‑cap ASX constituents and why opportunities may lie outside these crowded areas.

About Allan Gray

Dr Allan Gray established the business around his contrarian approach to investing. His distinctive philosophy is all about resisting trends, not following the crowd and finding opportunity where nobody else is looking.

To this day, the contrarian approach is applied consistently across the Allan Gray business as they take a longer-term, fundamentals-driven approach to investing.

Allan Gray Australia was established in 2005. Their flagship Allan Gray Australia Equity Fund launched in 2006, followed by the Stable Fund in 2011 and the Balanced Fund in 2017.
