Allan Gray
Allan Gray is a contrarian, fundamental manager which invests for the long term. This sees the group purchase shares which are widely disliked by the market, yet which it feels offer good investment potential. Allan Gray typically adopts a five to 10 year horizon when it decides to invest in a share and focuses all its efforts on understanding the intrinsic value of a company, rather than trying to forecast the next share price move. It also examines the underlying business fundamentals such as competitive position, return on capital and sensible management rather than macro-economic variables.
