Matthew Haynes, chief investment officer of 1949 Value Advisors, based in Mahwah, NJ talks about “Pedigree vs. ‘PhD’ (Poor, hungry and Driven)". Matthew is the chief investment officer and portfolio manager at 1949 Value Advisors, a traditional value-driven global equity investment management company serving accredited investors including family offices and select institutions. Matthew purchased a first edition copy of The Intelligent Investor nearly 25 years ago for the grand price of $1 in an antique shop in New Hope, PA. It has served as his investing bible ever since. 1949 Value Advisors seeks to provide investment solutions for conservative long-term investors who share the firm’s core principles in the face of an increasingly short-term and emotion-driven capital market environment. Matthew and his team are bottom-up, fundamental research-driven value investors, seeking to outperform the MSCI World Index with less absolute risk through the careful selection of high conviction stock ideas from around the world.
