What is Li Lu known for in value investing?
I am known for applying the principles of value investing, deeply rooted in the work of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett, and profoundly influenced by Charlie Munger. My firm, Himalaya Capital, operates on the premise that an investment is not a mere security to be traded, but a fractional ownership stake in a business. This perspective necessitates a rigorous analysis of intrinsic value, demanding a genuine margin of safety to protect against unforeseen circumstances. It also requires an unwavering adherence to one's circle of competence, focusing on businesses we genuinely understand. The ultimate goal is long-term compounding of capital, measured in decades rather than short-term fluctuations.
