The $20 million investor blueprint. Is there one anyway? If it was so simple, why aren’t others doing it? These are very valid questions. But more often than not, people and investors in general ask the wrong questions. The question that an investor should first ask is how not to lose money.
By answering that question itself in a completely honest way which pertains to one’s abilities and investing knowledge, not only is the downside risk reduced but eventually, the upside takes care of itself as well. The $20 million investor blueprint is an introspective guide to value investing. And within the spectrum of value investing strategies, the all too ignored segment of deep value investing never seem to get their voices heard. The deep value investors of our time include Benjamin Graham, Walter Schloss and many other individuals. They have used a quantitative approach to build their portfolios. A quantitative approach should be used especially when investors are starting out. This is to eliminate biases within one’s psyche. Within the repertoire of deep value investing strategies, a strategy stands out – The Net Current Asset Value Strategy.
Now, the strategy is simple. According to some backtests, it has been found that portfolios of such boring stocks can gain close to 30% per annum. What is this strategy about? If one is able to buy companies trading at deep discounts to the liquidation value, these companies will do very well over time.
And why a $20 million portfolio? Warren Buffett did mention that if he were managing stocks that have a portfolio value of close to $10 million, it would make sense to look at the deep value investing approach. In fact, he has publicly acknowledged that his best years were his earlier years as a deep value investor. Looking at it from that perspective, if an investor is focused on the net current asset value strategy wants to grow his portfolio, he can easily expand his portfolio to $20 million by looking at markets internationally.
