17:00 - 19:00 Tom Russo, Partner, Gardner, Russo & Gardner [USA]Topic: “Part 1: Global Value Investing”Thomas Russo joined Gardner Russo & Gardner as a partner in 1989. Together, Thomas Russo,

Eugene Gardner and Eugene Gardner Jr oversee almost $4 billion in discretionary, individually managed client accounts. Each partner manages individual separate accounts and share similar investment approaches and strategies. Mr Russo’s investment philosophy emphasizes return on invested capital, principally through equity investments. His approach to stock selection stresses two main points: value and price. Tomas Russo’s investment approach is focused on a small number of industries in which companies have historically proven to be able to generate sustainable amounts of net free cash flow. This fairly narrow approach reflects his training and discipline at the Sequoia Fund in New York, where he worked from 1984 to 1988. Mr. Russo tries to limit risk by not paying too large a multiple of a company’s net free cash flow in light of prevailing interest rates. He attempts to broaden this otherwise narrow universe by including companies with smaller market capitalizations and companies in similar industries based abroad. Thomas Russo is General Partner of Semper Vic Partners, L.P. and Semper Vic Partners (Q.P.), limited partnerships whose investments are in excess of $600 million, along with overseeing substantially more funds through separate accounts for individuals, trusts, and endowments. He is a graduate of Stanford Business and Law Schools. Mr. Russo’s goal is one of an absolute return rather than a relative return, and he continues his long-term investment objective of compounding assets between 10 and 20 percent per year without great turnover, thereby realizing a minimum amount of realized taxable gains and net investment income.
