Defining Eclectic Value Investing

Eclectic value investing encompasses a diverse approach to selecting undervalued companies that may not fit traditional value investing criteria. This strategy involves identifying companies globally, prioritizing those that demonstrate long-term value regardless of their immediate statistical cheapness.
