This week we’re joined by Amit Wadhwaney on the Value Perspective podcast. Amit started his career working for legendary value investor Martin J Whitman in the 1980s when Whitman was investing in bankruptcies. Amit followed Whitman to Third Avenue where he managed the boutique’s international strategies, including Emerging Markets. Amit is considered one of the earliest and longest-standing value investors in Emerging Markets. In 2014, Amit left Third Avenue to launch Moerus Capital Management which opened in 2015 and started serving clients in 2016. In this episode we discuss: Amit’s background and career including his experiences working with Martin J Whitman; what he has learnt from 30 years of value investing, including what has helped him and his team to avoid style drift over the last seven years; why Emerging Markets have historically been good hunting grounds for value investors; why balance sheet risk is so important now and how important it was 30 years ago; and finally, what is the best way to communicate with clients when investing in international funds or uncertain territories. Enjoy!
