  • The Staude Capital Global Value Fund Limited (ASX: GVF) is a unique listed investment company for a few reasons. Firstly, it invests in heavily discounted investment vehicles all over the world. There’s no other ASX listed vehicle that does this (to our knowledge anyway). And secondly, they are a husband and wife team who have just celebrated the funds ten year anniversary.

    In this episode we dive deep on the investment philosophy that has seen the fund return over 11%pa since inception. How they find and evaluate opportunities and how you can take their approach to find quality, undervalued opportunities in the Australian listed investment company space as well.

    We loved this episode and hope you do too.

    Ice breakers

    What ignited the spark for Emma and Miles to start investing

    Who were or are still your mentors?

    How does a husband and wife team end up saying “hey let’s do this together”

    Your process

    The GVF investment process through the lens of the analysis of the company's performance.

    How do these investors in listed investment companies unlock the value that is in the discount?

    Deep value often appears in sectors or geographies all at the one time, how do they think about portfolio weights and balancing exposures in these opportunities?

    What is the turnover of the GVF portfolio? How do you balance the duration of a possible investment in your portfolio?

    How should someone view GVF in terms of asset allocation?

    Advice for the Australian LIC investor:

    How does Australia compare to other countries when it comes to closed ended listed investment vehicles.

    Why should the individual investor look at the UK as their first stop when looking outside Australia for LICs

    What are the top things to look for when selecting a listed investment company (LIC) in Australia

    Personal reflections:

    What character traits in each other do you most admire when it comes to building a company together?

    What advice would you go back and give your younger self?

    We’re going for lunch anywhere in the world, where are we going?
